I received a lovely email from a customer the other day, who has been teaching herself how to do Mountmellick embroidery. I include some of if below. By the way, I haven’t sent a picture of the problem I was having with Palestrina stitch, but I did notice that the instructions in Inspirations magazine which […] Because people have asked for it, I am putting together a supplies pack for Snow White, the Mountmellick project that is published in the latest issue of Inspirations magazine (#62). You’ll need to supply your own copy of the magazine, as that has the pattern and instructions. Included in the supplies pack are those listed […] As I promised, here is a link to some images of Snow White, my Mountmellick project in Issue 62 of Inspirations. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there’s a better picture than the very difficult-to-see one at the top of the page. You can purchase all the Mountmellick embroidery supplies needed […] Today I received my contributors’ copy of “Inspirations” No 62, from Country Bumpkin.

I have ordered a replacement fabric – which will be of similar quality, yet different – which I […] I have the pleasure of announcing the release of two new Mountmellick embroidery kits: the Wildflower Cushion (below left) and the Dogrose and Blackberry Cushion (below right). These cushions have been designed to be used as a pair, but will also make a splash on any lounge or bed as a single cushion. They’d make […] With the start of the new year, it seems that a lot of people are about to start learning Mountmellick embroidery. I have had many orders from people who are part of these groups. I can only encourage this as a pursuit! If you are planning to learn Mountmellick embroidery as part of a group, […] Finding the right thread to use for Mountmellick embroidery can be very difficult. You can’t use regular embroidery floss because it is shiny, and is made up of separate strands and doesn’t work right. You can’t use pearl cotton because its way too shiny for Mountmellick. You also can’t use coton a broder (broder cotton) […] |
