I am going to go out on a limb here… I don’t understand biscornu. (And I don’t know what the plural for “biscornu” is, or maybe that is plural? If it is plural, what is the singular?) Biscornu are everywhere these days, primarily as counted thread projects. But every time I see some of […] Here it is – more information about the intriguing Natty Knitters of Griffith! My interest came from hearing a news report on national radio about a group in Griffith, NSW which had received a government grant to create a full-size knitted garden. It seemed incredible, and I wanted to know more! By some sleuthing I […] Before we went away to Ethiopia, I made my daughters each a dress to wear to the wedding for which I made my beaded dress. For my younger daughter, I made one out of hot pink Chinese satin – it suits her personality perfectly! I made a dark green delustred satin dress for my older […] My felt from Colourstreams arrived the other day. I’ll be using this to work the cover embroidery for “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” on. I had spoken with Robyn about the fact that I’d prefer “directional” colour, rather than eyedropped blobs of colour. As most people want blobs, she said she’d dye some specifically for me. […] Burda 7569 – I don’t much like the look of this dress… I finally finished my beaded dress the other night. Calling it a beaded dress makes it sound like its covered in beads – which it is not. But there is a border of beading around the neckline, and I am very […] I wanted to continue to follow up on the natty knitters and their garden, so every few days, I have been doing a Google search just in case something shows up somewhere. Bingo! From the Regional Arts NSW website comes the following about the grant that they have received: $2,215 to The Natty Knitters of […] My husband and I were listening to ABC Classic Radio today, a national radio station. Now this is a seriously high-brow radio station – no shock jocks, silly business or the like- just serious classical music. The news came on, and partway through, the newsreader told us this strange little story about a group in […] I’ve nearly finished the beading on the bodice of my dress. Just a bit more chain stitch and some sequins to add. I’m very pleased with how it is going. I am using the French embroidery beading technique as shown in Maisie Jarratt’s book “French Embroidery Beading: How To Bead”. The late Maisie Jarratt was […] The power went off at 8:30 this morning. I patiently waited throughout the day, doing my drawn thread embroidery and getting a lot more done than I had expected to today, until it finally came back on seven hours later at 3:30pm. Until now, we have been very fortunate not to have had many power […] This is a sneak peak of my latest embroidery, being done on 38/40 count Portuguese linen. Drawn thread embroidery on Portuguese linen As you can probably see, it is whitework (white thread on white fabric). The Portuguese linen is lovely to work on. When I first started working on it, it shed quite a […] |
