Today I am going to direct you to the blog of a friend of mine. I’ve mentioned “Jeanine in Canada” as she is known, before, but her blog is so excellent that it is definitely worth mentioning again! Jeanine’s blog is called Italian Needlework, and that’s exactly what it covers. Jeanine writes her blog because […] I’m getting itchy feet again. I want to go somewhere and learn about a new-to-me style of historical whitework. And this time, I think I want to look at Eastern Europe – the Baltic states, the Balkans and all the countries in between. With so many different regional styles of costume, there just HAS to […] On Christmas Day my great aunt was telling me that she’s going to have to downsize from her house in the coming year. She’s a very spritely 80 something year old, but she wants to move somewhere smaller before someone has to move her! She invited me and my husband to visit and help her […] I started work yesterday on a new Elizabethan embroidery, which I had designed while holed up in the house on Tuesday. The project is for a class proposal. My first step was to go a few suburbs to the local embroidery shop which stocks Au Ver a Soie threads.

Hand & Cloth operates in Bangladesh, where women have traditionally made blankets […] For those of you in Sydney and the surrounds who have been patiently waiting for a Portuguese Whitework class, you’ll be pleased to know that I will be teaching at Lyn’s Fine Needlework at Baulkham Hills on 30th July 2012. The class is a single day class, and we will be working the framed panel […] Guimarães is the town from which the style of embroidery that is featured in my new book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães comes. It is in the north of Portugal, and if you know where Porto is on the coast, Guimarães is inland from there. It is not a tourist area, though actually all […] Exciting news! I was one of the three readers of Mary Corbet’s Needle’nThread selected to test Luzine Happel‘s left-handed schwalm embroidery instructions. I’m thrilled! This comes at the perfect time for me, as I am between books, and haven’t got any embroidery projects on the go at the moment. If you’re one of the other […] Mary Corbet, from Needle’nThread has done it again – a glowing review of my latest book, Portuguese Whitework! Her reviews are so terribly thorough that probably all your questions will have been answered in one go! Some excerpts from Mary’s review: Well, here it is!
