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. […] While I was away, the advance copies (copies sent ahead of the main shipment for final approval) arrived on my doorstep. While there is a certain excitement about this, there’s also great trepidation: what if I find a mistake?! I haven’t found any mistakes yet. Thankfully! It is a little bit exciting that […] You may have been reading this blog for a long time (thanks!) or you may be quite new (also thanks!).

Vaupel and Heilenbeck are manufacturers of beautiful linen banding (they also do some […] 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 […] Some years ago – about five, actually – I taught a class where the project was a traditional-style Hardanger runner. I’ve had a photo of it on the Hardanger page of my website for many years, but I’ve never actually made the pattern widely available. From time to time I receive emails from people […] I learned about this project yesterday, and immediately thought it was so wonderful that I’d have to share it with you all.
