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 [...] In the comments sections of Mary Corbet’s last two posts, one a review of my Portuguese Whitework book, and the other about left-handed Schwalm embroidery, there have been lots of lovely things said about my books. For years I had a hard time embroidering and set it aside because it was confusing & frustrating to [...] If you’re a left-hander (and somehow I suspect that a few might congregate around here…!) and you enjoy whitework (I suspect that we might have a few of them too…!) there’s an opportunity afoot for you. Mary Corbet of Needle’nThread.com has presented an opportunity for English-speaking left-handers who’ve never tried Schwalm embroidery to work through [...] Just a note to those who are likely to want me to come and teach for their shop, community or guild group next year. I am taking a lot of bookings – it seems people really want to learn Portuguese Whitework! – so if you’re interested, get in quick. I do limit my quantity of [...] Well, the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair for 2011 is done and dusted! We had a great time. I really enjoyed meeting so many wonderful customers and spending the five days with Janie and Belinda. It was lots of fun and especially over the final few days (as we were getting more and more deliriously [...] A reminder that in just over a week’s time, I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour. It runs from 9-5 each day from 22nd-26th June. I’ll be at Stand K39, so please come and visit me! I will be running a Craft Circle each day from 1:30-2:30, “Basic Embroidery [...] Yesterday I spent the day trying to finish stitching the drawn thread work base for my Portuguese whitework tablecloth for the book. I really hoped I’d get that part done, but time got away. Maybe I’ll get it done today. And while that will feel like an achievement of sorts, then I have to embark [...] I will again be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour this year. The show runs from 22nd to 26th June. I will be sharing stand K39 with Belinda of Cassis Craft and Janie of Janie Hubble Designs – two lovely ladies! I just had notification the other day that I [...] On Saturday I had a half day just with my younger daughter, age 6. She had expressed a very strong desire to do some embroidery with me. So we did. Firstly she drew a flower on some paper, and I traced it onto the fabric. We were using fabric and thread left over from my [...] Yesterday I received an order of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion from a lovely lady who told me about the circumstances that resulted in her purchasing the book: Last year I attended a course at [a patchwork shop], to do with hand-appliquéing designs. There were 3 left-handers out of 12 participants, and one had your book [...] |
