Ta Da! The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary was delivered yesterday afternoon. That means I will be posting all orders today, and all future orders will be posted as they are received.
The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion came about because The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion was receiving such rave reviews from both left and right-handers, that [...]
Not much to say today. I haven’t been well – been sleeping, knitting and keeping warm.
But I thought that you would like to know that failing dock strikes (and they haven’t happened around here in many a year) or such things, my shipment of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion should be arriving some time this week. [...]
I was fortunate to get my hands on some gorgeous single ply silks from Stitches and Spice at the craft show. Naomi from Stitches and Spice is a good friend of Kirsten’s and therefore my friend too by default. She has a lovely new range of single ply silks out, and I was [...]
Yesterday morning when Belinda and I were carting stuff out to the car, a truck pulled up out the front with what looked to be council workers in it. I said “Looks like some guys have come to dig up the footpath or something.” Then I noticed their woodchipper on the back, and realised they [...]
I got an email yesterday from my printers to let me know that my advance copies of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion are currently being couriered to me. Wow! This is earlier than I expected!
Before a books shipment is delivered in full, the printer normally sends a couple of “advance copies”, so called because they come [...]
This week I have been working on some embroidery on clothing. The fabric is a fine knit, which means it is a little stretchy. I figured that it would be best to stabilise the fabric before stitching on it, so that it didn’t pull out of shape during the embroidery.
The fabric is a mid grey, [...]

Today I have a sneak preview of the likely new cover of “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”. It is designed to complement the cover of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion.
I had so much fun doing the embroidery for this cover. You can see that I have used the Colourstreams hand-dyed felt (in “Monet” colour) that arrived in [...]
It has been a busy but enjoyable week. The books arrived as promised on Tuesday, and all pre-orders were posted by Wednesday morning. It has also gone off to the Australian distributors, so it should appear in the shops some time soon. The US shipment will arrive at the distributors some time next week, and [...]
The The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion will be arriving here today!
I am eagerly and anxiously awaiting the delivery of oodles of boxes of books. Its going to be about 35 degrees Celcius here today, so I am really hoping that they come early in the day before it gets too hot.
I have a busy day apart [...]
