Newly released Merezhka daisies cloth pattern

I know that there are some of you who have really wanted me to produce some new Merezhka designs. In an effort to keep you happy, I’ve been through some of my teaching projects to see what there is that can be released for general sale.

A new design […]

Right-handed stitch dictionary now available!

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, […]

Right-handed book arriving this week

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 […]

Right-handed book advance copy arrived!

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 […]

Right-handed advance copies on their way!

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!

trying something new

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.

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.
