Yesterday I received a photo from Ruth, who was one of the students in my classes on the needlework cruise that I taught on in February this year. Ruth took my Mountmellick class and my Portuguese Whitework Panel class. From the photo (which Ruth has given permission for me to share), you can see […] This weekend (and Monday and Tuesday) I will be teaching at Berrima Patchwork’s Quilting in the Highlands Retreat at Mittagong. Mittagong is in the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. At this time of year, it is COLD down there. (Well, cold for us, not for people who regularly have snowy winters!) I’m planning to stay […] I’m home from the Ballarat branch of the Victorian embroiderers’ guild’s Autumn Leaves Seminar, and I’m very tired! The class was a great success, with all the students learning a lot and very happy. We spent two days working on learning the stitches for the Mountmellick wildflower cushion, and the students also made a start […] Today I am in Ballarat in Victoria for the Ballarat branch of the Victorian Embroiderer’s Guild’s “Autumn Leaves Seminar”. I’ll be teaching Mountmellick embroidery. There are other tutors also here teaching their areas of specialty. As I’ve never been to this gathering before, I’ve no idea how big it is, or what to expect, so […] Can someone please let me in on the secret? Why is it that pretty much all the books I am selling at the moment and nearly all the supplies are for Mountmellick embroidery? (I’m not complaining!) Did someone decide to make 2013 the year of Mountmellick embroidery, but forgot to tell me? From all around […] Just to update you on The Gymnast’s condition, it isn’t scarlet fever. It is another identifiable childhood illness, along similar lines (no, not chicken pox). She’s contagious until the rash goes away, so she’s in quarantine for a bit longer yet. This seriously cramps my style with getting work done during the day! I relish […] Shipped docked in Noumea. You can see a tiny little container ship behind. The Voyager of the Seas is just HUGE! Following our first day in Noumea, I arose early the next morning for my usual walk, and realised that if there is ever a good time to take photos of a container […] I’m back from the Needlework Cruise! It was an enjoyable experience, though I really missed my family at times. I met some delightful people, and did some new things. The Voyager of the Seas docked in Sydney Docked right near the Sydney Harbour Bridge Me and my ship When I […] I had a wonderful day yesterday teaching Mountmellick embroidery to a group of lovely ladies at Hobbysew, Penrith. We did the small honeysuckle doily from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. They did a great job, and some were very vocal about how much they were learning and enjoying the class. Look […] It’ll be short and quick today. I’m off to teach a Mountmellick embroidery class in Penrith. We’ll be embroidering a small doily. I’m sure I will have a lovely day sharing embroidery with others! I hope you have a great day too! |
