Yesterday I took delivery of my new gift cards, featuring images of embroidery from my new book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. They are gorgeously bright and colourful – like the book really! The images are details of (L-R) breton stitch, double feather stitch, square and double chain stitch, and spiral trellis stitch. They are available […] The Left Handed Embroiderer’s Companion is now available for pre-order! (yay!) The book will ship in January 2010, but if you order now, your copy will be posted as soon as it arrives! Keep in mind that you’ll also be able to get it from your local needlework shop in early 2010. If they don’t […] I flew in from Adelaide this afternoon, very tired, but having had a wonderful week. I was teaching at Beating Around the Bush, Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference in Adelaide, Australia.

I have had a lovely time stitching the cover embroidery over […] Revisiting the idea of guerilla knitting again. You can read the previous post here. In today’s Sydney Morning Herald there are some wonderful pictures of guerilla knitting – love the bus! You must read this article. When I have the chance (like while watching kids’ swimming lessons), I’m still knitting squares for Wrap With Love, […] Over the past few weeks I’ve either bought or been given a few new books. “Embroidered Textiles” by Sheila Paine. This is an amazing, thick book detailing the embroidery used around the world in different cultures. It has many, many coloured photos and is wonderful to inspect in great detail. “The Goodhart Samplers” by Bromiley […] Well… since writing the post on what’s going to be in the left-handed embroidery book, things have changed… Kirsten Edwards of The Gift of Stitching has suggested a whole heap of specialty counted thread stitches for me to include. And I posted on The Gift of Stitching forums asking for people’s top 5 specialty sampler […] Today I went to the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair with my friend Kirsten Edwards who is the editor of The Gift Of Stitching online magazine, and my elder daughter, who we normally refer to in blogland as The Bookworm.
