I have been working on a thank you gift for Gillian, who presented me with the beautiful scarf from Turkey. I’ve decided that a suitable gift is a bookmark, with Hardanger embroidery worked on it. I have no idea if she has any interest in embroidery, therefore if it is a bookmark, she can choose […] This week I received an email inviting me to teach at Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference “Beating Around the Bush” in April 2012 in Adelaide, Australia. I was thrilled to be invited back, as I loved my time teaching there last year. Only the earliest of details about the conference have been announced yet, but you […] Here’s the next online book preview: Elegant Hardanger Embroidery.

[…] These are the two class models for my beginners hardanger class at The Crewel Gobelin in June. Contact The Crewel Gobelin in Killara, Sydney, for more information and bookings.

On the Nordic Needle website, Carol P of Hopkins, MN has written the following review entitled “A new Bible!”: This is the book I now recommend be in […] I love receiving emails from people who say nice things about my books. Who wouldn’t?! They usually make my day! I have a favour to ask. If you love my books – any of them: Elegant Hardanger Embroidery; Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature; Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska; or The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a […] I received a lovely email this week: Hi Yvette, I am an avid fan of yours! I had started embroidering again after my three sons left home four years ago and had strong interests in learning Hardanger, stumpwork and goldwork. I do most of my learning and sourcing out good learning books via the net. […] The Waterlily Hardanger Stitch Along has started in my hardanger Yahoo group. Diane has posted some progress of her work so far. She is working in golden yellow thread on blue fabric – what a sunny combination! You’re making great progress, Diane. If you’d like to join in, you’d be very welcome to join us […] Sorry about the lack of communication. We went away to Canberra (Australia’s capital city) for a few days, and then I’ve been getting stuck into more embroidery for the book since my return. On a much more exciting note for you lovely readers, for those who love hardanger, at my hardanger Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hardangerhowto/) there […] |
