This morning through my Google Alerts, I found that a blogger named Kath Rimmer has very kindly written a review of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. You can read her review on her blog: kathrimmer.wordpress.com An excerpt: Suddenly it all makes sense. Stitches I had struggled with were far simpler than I had imagined! The instructions […] This morning I received an email: Re: the Sardinian knotted whitework embroidery book. I am left handed in every aspect. Would this book be for me? I have done hardanger for the last 7 years and would now like a new challenge. The answer is a resounding YES! Apart from The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion, Sardinian […] Apparently today is International Left-Handers Day. I have no idea who decrees these things, but this being the home of left-handed embroidery, why not celebrate it?! As you probably know, I am left-handed (to misquote from “The Princess Bride”!). I wrote The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion because I realised how much left-handed embroidery students loved having […] Oops! It passed me by that yesterday was International Left-Handers Day, but I take comfort in the fact that while it is well and truly Tuesday here now, it is still Monday in some parts of the world! However, as the writer of a left-handed embroidery book, I feel I do need to acknowledge the […] Because I’ve written The stitch dictionary for left-handers, and I sometimes talk about my latest knitting projects, I occasionally get enquiries from people wanting to know if I can recommend a book that teaches knitting left-handed. I asked my friend Melody Lord who has recently written an excellent book called Knitting Basics, if she could […] 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 […] |
