On Sunday the craft show ended for another year. It was a fabulous show in a lovely new venue. I sold many copies of my new book and shared the embroidery from it with many, many people. I did little demos of how to stitch the knots, and explained where it came from. A common […]

Tomorrow at 2pm on the Australian Women’s Weekly stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, I will be giving a talk on the writing of “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”. If you’re there at the fair, please come along! I had another wonderful day at the show today. Again, I am absolutely exhausted and can’t wait […] This morning before the craft show started for the day, they awarded the Australian Craft Industry Awards. You may remember that “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” was one of the finalists for Craft Book of the Year. It WON! 🙂 It is very gratifying that the judges (who were industry experts) decided that […] This morning my husband and I went in to the new exhibition centre at Glebe Island to set up for the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair which starts tomorrow. As I noted previously, the new venue has beautiful natural light for a craft show. Except for late in the afternoon and if we have any […] Yesterday I went into the CBD for a tour of the new Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island. This is the new home for the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair for the next three years. A lot of people have been concerned that it’s going to be much harder to get to. Well, it’s not. […] Well, it looks like my shipment of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery will be arriving on Friday. Because I don’t actually know what time of the day they’ll arrive (and because I already have other things planned that I must do on Friday), I might be able to get started on the mailout that day, but […] Here in Australia, ABC TV has been making a wonderful murder mystery series called Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. It is set in 1920s Melbourne. The show is great, but most people I know watch it for the clothes. Ending tomorrow is an exhibition at Old Government House, Parramatta, of some of the costumes, designed by […] Happy New Year! Yes, I realise that I’m a few days late, but just yesterday we arrived home from a family break in Canberra. We drove down on the day after Christmas (known as Boxing Day here in Australia), much to the chagrin of my sister in law who thought that we were mad heading […] Yesterday was the final day of the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair for 2013. It was a great show for me, well exceeding my expectations. I met so many lovely stitchers, and had so many interesting conversations! I met many past students which is always lovely. I also met many future students – particularly […] Today will be my third day at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. I’ve been having a lovely time! This year I am again by myself on my own stand. I’ve been having some lovely conversations with people about embroidery. One I particularly enjoyed yesterday was with a lady of Chinese descent who told […] |
