I will be away from tomorrow (Tuesday) until Saturday, at Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide. I will not be able to attend to any orders or enquiries during this time. I will get to them on my return. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Launching my book at […] I had a lovely weekend in Mittagong teaching Mountmellick embroidery at Quilting in the Highlands. I had a full class and we had a great time! The students made good progress with learning new stitches and then getting them onto their cushion front. One part of a Mountmellick class that I really enjoy is helping […] This weekend I’ll be off to Mittagong for the 2014 Quilting in the Highlands retreat organised by Berrima Patchwork. Mittagong is in the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. Given that it is winter in Australia at the moment, it’s a bit cold, and in winter it is always colder in the Southern Highlands. We don’t […] At the end of September and beginning of October, I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide, Australia. This is always a fabulous conference, with lots of wonderful tutors, students and classes. This year I will be teaching the following classes: Portuguese Whitework Bookmark – Sunday 28th September, 2014 […] Mary Corbet has written an excellent article on the non-availability of fine white threads for whitework embroidery. This is an issue that has caused problems for me on occasions. When I was about to publish my Ukrainian book – which specified broder cotton No 12 as being the best thread to use – I suddenly […] I’ve just spent the morning updating the classes page on my website. These are all the classes that are currently finalised for 2014 and 2015. There’s a great mix of new projects and old favourites. Take a look and see which ones you’d like to join me for. By clicking on the images below, you’ll […] On Friday I received a lovely surprise in my post office box. My copy of Inspirations 80 had arrived! This is the 20th anniversary of Inspirations magazine, and to celebrate they have 15 projects all by Australian designers, one of whom is me! My project is a little biscornu, featuring Mountmellick embroidery. It was […] Another big, exciting announcement today about what I’ll be doing next year! Yesterday, Berrima Patchwork generally released their information for the 2014 Quilting in the Highland Retreat (QITH), from Saturday 26th July to Tuesday 29th July 2014. The information has been out for a few weeks for past participants, but now it is available for […] Well, the big news of the day is that the brochure for the 2014 Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide has been released to those who had signed up for information via the Country Bumpkin website. I can’t find a direct link for the brochure on the Country Bumpkin website, but you could […] On Sunday I’ll be teaching a one day Mountmellick class for the NSW smocking guild. The class is apparently much-anticipated, with the class bookings having filled very quickly. I’m sure we’ll have a great day together. Today I will spend the day preparing the class kits. We’ll be working on the honeysuckle doily from Mountmellick […] |
