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 [...] I had a WONDERFUL time in Adelaide at Beating Around the Bush. Enjoyed the class, and market day, and loved hearing Jenny Adin-Christie last night at the gala dinner. I really enjoyed spending time with the other tutors, socialising and talking shop. I was just a little overawed to meet some of the international [...] We’re getting a lot closer to Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference, Beating Around the Bush, which runs from Saturday 14th April to Friday 20th April, in Adelaide. I’ll be attending Beating Around the Bush as a teacher, and also as an exhibitor at their Village Fair. Sadly, two of my classes will not be running, but [...] A few weeks ago I tantalisingly dropped it into one of my posts that I had been invited to teach on a needlework cruise early next year. I am now allowed to spill the beans on that one! From February 10th next year, I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick Embroidery on a cruise [...] I have a number of alerts set up that let me know whenever they find certain search terms appearing new across the internet.

It was quite lovely to spend the day doing that. It feels like quite some time since I have done a new Mountmellick project! Its been lovely to be playing with stitch combinations [...] The third class that I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush is a Mountmellick embroidery class. Mountmellick lily cushion With Yvette Stanton Thursday April 19 and Friday April 20, 2012 Learn to work beautiful traditional whitework embroidery from Mountmellick in Ireland. Mountmellick embroidery is highly textured embroidery featuring many knotted and padded stitches. [...] Last night we took our girls out for a huge treat (a treat for us too!). We went to see Opera Australia’s production of The Magic Flute at the Sydney Opera House. It was amazing! As you can expect, apart from the opera itself, I was transfixed by the costumes. Wow! Full of colour, shapes [...] Over the next few days I have to get stuck into some class proposals. I’ve had a few letters over the past months asking for class proposals, but just haven’t had the chance to do anything about them. Thankfully the submission dates have not yet passed. These are for classes into 2013, which seemed such [...] On Friday I went back to Lake Macquarie Embroiderers’ Guild Group for the second day of their Mountmellick workshop. We had a fantastic time. My previous day with them had been over a month before, and they had all made amazing progress in the intervening time. I don’t think I have ever been quite so [...] |
