I recently went to Paris to visit l’Aiguille en Fête, which is a big, annual craft show, not unlike the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I exhibit at each year. I arranged for my sister Prue, who lives in Germany, to join me for my few days in Paris. She’s an embroidery designer too, […]

Today is International Day of Peace (21st September – if it’s not that date where you are yet, it will be soon!). Last Saturday at our church we had a fundraiser for the local women’s shelter. The idea was that the creative women of our church set up stalls of their creations for others to […] Unfortunately the winner of the Hardanger that I was stitching at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, whose name I drew last week, did not contact me within the week (I even gave a few days extra!), so I have redrawn the prize. The new winner, again drawn totally at random, is Catherine Robinson. Congratulations […] While I was at the show, any time I wasn’t serving customers, I was sitting at the front of my stand, stitching.

The show is on from Thursday 22nd until Sunday 25th June. I’ll have a new beginners Sardinian knotted embroidery kit, perfect for all those who want to learn but aren’t sure where to start. […] I’m home from Beating Around the Bush. I had a fantastic time at Market Day, and also catching up with people at the meal times etc. I arrived on Friday morning. Lunch was in the dining room at the school where the conference was being held. I was able to meet some people I’d never […] In just a few weeks time, I’ll have a stall at the Beating Around the Bush Market Day. This fabulous stitchers and craft market day is open to students of Beating Around the Bush and the general public. I’ll have books, fabrics, threads, patterns etc available for sale. I’ll also have a display of […] A few weeks ago I was down south of Sydney for a week. I had planned to visit “Through the eye of the Needle” – the exhibition of the Wollongong Group of the Embroiderers Guild NSW – on my way down south. Unfortunately that was the day of the very ferocious East Coast Low weather […] |
