The book really and truly exists now! We just have to be patient for the rest of them to arrive at their destinations so that you can have your very own copy! Don’t forget that you can pre-order your […] A few weeks ago I tantalisingly dropped it into one of my posts that I had been invited to teach on a needlework cruise early next year. I am now allowed to spill the beans on that one! From February 10th next year, I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick Embroidery on a cruise […] Because of all the effort that I put into creating my video preview of “Portuguese Whitework”, I’m going to wave it under your noses yet again and embed it here today.
