Welcome to the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along! Even if you have decided not to stitch along with us, I’m glad that you’re following along. I welcome all questions.

It wasn’t supposed to be here yet!

She told us that she and the ICA group that she is part of, are currently learning Mountmellick embroidery in Ireland. I was so interested that I asked her to share some more with me and all you lovely […] So, what was popular at the Vetty Creations stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Show last week?
