Mimi is from Hong Kong and has recently been enjoying Mountmellick embroidery. Following is her first piece of Mountmellick embroidery – it is the framed flower spray from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature.

The instructions for this stitch have not been included in the most recent issue of Inspirations magazine, in which Snow White has recently been published. When Inspirations publishes a project, they often can [...] Today I received a photo from one of my customers, Pam. This is the first Mountmellick embroidery that she has ever done. Hasn’t she done a lovely job?

Congratulations [...] Happy St Patrick’s Day to you all! I have a little Irish blood within me, and I do love Mountmellick embroidery, which is of course Irish.
