I am honoured to have been invited to teach in New Zealand in January 2017, by ANZEG (Association of New Zealand Embroiderers’ Guilds). My “tour dates” (I should get black T-shirts made up with these on the back, don’t you think?) are as follows: 4th/5th Jan: Otago/Southland (Dunedin) 7th/8th: Canterbury (Nelson) 10th/11th: Cook […] If you missed them, you can read parts 1 and 2. Fotografiska, Stockholm, Sweden On our holiday, The Husband and The Reader left about a week earlier than The Gymnast and I did, and went to Amsterdam. The Reader really enjoyed using a new camera to take lots and lots of beautiful black and white […] If you missed part 1, you can read it here. Greve Museum, Greve, Denmark My next stop on my textiles tour was Greve Museum, 30km south of Copenhagen. It was a bitterly cold day with a biting wind the day I visited. I was deposited on a quiet, semi-rural road by the bus, to walk […] While on my holiday, I saw as much embroidery and textiles as I could reasonably squeeze in.

Firstly, one of my most popular posts […] Yesterday Facebook told me that I hadn’t posted anything to my Vetty Creations Facebook page in a whole FIVE DAYS. Quelle horreur! So I remedied that by posting the following gorgeous photo. Image by Riwnodennyk [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons. This is an embroidered shirt in the collection of the Ivan Honchar […] One of my husband’s colleagues is currently on holidays in the UK. They visited Stirling Castle and she posted some pictures of the amazing unicorn tapestries on Facebook. She very kindly gave me permission to post the photos here for you all to enjoy. Don’t they look amazing in situ?! If these are […] As you will have read in my report yesterday on The Big Mountmellick Boil Up, by boiling my antique Mountmellick piece white, I found that not all of the stains were removed. And so, of course, all the suggestions came (variations depending on where the commenter lives): “Have you tried using Napisan?” “Would you consider […] This morning I finally got the chance to do The Big Boil Up. By the time I got to it, the embroidery had been soaking in cold water for about 36 hours. On this photo, note the heavy black lines underneath the stamens of the lily. They have to go! You can also see various […] I have been cheered on by people around the globe, encouraging me to be brave about washing the antique Mountmellick piece that I bought. And so last night before going to bed, I put it in a bucket of cold water to steep. Amazingly, I had the presence of mind to take some photos of […] |
