Today I show you three of the Mountmellick embroidery examples in my collection. One was bought on Ebay and came from the UK, one came from an antiques store in Hobart, Tasmania, and the other came from an antiques store in Windsor, north west of Sydney. I talk about their features that are significant, whether […] I realise that many of you buy my books online or order them from your favourite needlework store, having never really seen what’s inside them, unless you’ve seen a friend’s copy. That’s quite a leap of faith! Today I’m going to give you a flick-through preview of all my books, so that you can see […] In this episode of White Threads Floss Tube, Yvette Stanton talks about Mountmellick embroidery. She shows her Dogrose and Honeysuckle Mountmellick Doily, and her Mountmellick Pomegranate Biscornu.

I know that some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning but some of you are newer to […] Vetty Creations at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair This time last week I was at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair launching my new book “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” which had arrived the day before the show setup. Talk about last minute! The show went really well. I had a larger […] In April/May next year I’ll be tutoring on the Craft Creations Cruise, from Sydney via the South Pacific and Hawaii, to Seattle. I’ve done a couple of cruises with Needlework Tours and Cruises before, as a tutor, and they are always most enjoyable. I’ll be teaching three projects: Early Style Hardanger Biscornu, […] I went to Singleton in the Hunter Valley on the weekend for a workshop of Mountmellick lilies. Two projects were on offer, both featuring lilies: a cushion and a runner. Some of the participants of the class, hard at work. We had a lovely time, playing with stitches. We solved the problems of […] |
