Every now and again I post about Mountmellick threads. When people are wanting to try Mountmellick embroidery, they often come to me for supplies. You wouldn’t think that would be so strange, seeing I’ve written a book on the subject. However, I’m not sure that’s what draws them to my website. Sometimes, I think it […]

Image courtesy of Country Bumpkin Country Bumpkin have the new issue of Inspirations, Issue 76, up on their website. I have something in this one: a small scissor fob featuring Portuguese Whitework. If you haven’t tried Portuguese Whitework yet, this little project is a great way to start. And then you can move on […] I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend. Enrolments in my classes are going very nicely, and it looks like the classes will be reasonably evenly split between Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick embroidery. I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, […] This afternoon I am heading to Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework embroidery at the guild group there. Yesterday I loaded a whole heap of pictures that I took when we were visiting Guimaraes (sorry, I have no idea how to put the little wiggly […] Tomorrow and Sunday I will be teaching a Portuguese whitework class at A Stitch in Time, here in Hobart. I’ve actually been here a few days now, and have enjoyed some of the sights. Yesterday I had the delight of finding an “Edwardian carver cloth” in an antique shop. Despite the guy who sold it […] I spent much of yesterday updating the class page on my website. It is fully updated now, with all the details that I have so far. There is a visual listing of all the projects, so you can see all the photos together, and a calendar listing so that you can see what will be […] I spent the day working on a new Mountmellick project yesterday in preparation for a class next year. I had such a lovely time sitting there stitching away all day. It is to be a cushion, and the plants on it are forget-me-nots and daisies. Very pretty, dainty flowers! I tried out some new stitch […] I’ve just added a new product to the Vetty Creations website: Sewline fabric pencils. This fabric marking pencil is much better for marking fabric than a normal HB pencil and a fabric marker pen (texta). Why? It has ceramic lead that is designed to be easily removable from fabric. It washes out easily and rubs […] 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 […] |
