Yesterday I finally got started on my handtowel project for “Portuguese Whitework”. I suddenly decided that I wanted some suggestions from people on the size that people like their handtowels to be. I’ve previously done handtowels at about 40 x 50cm (16 x 20in), but wanted to know if people liked that size or something […]

It took less than 24 hours from go to whoa! The latest project for my book “Portuguese Whitework” is now complete; even the instructions are written. I must say that I very much like these quick projects! Compared to nearly two years of *that* tablecloth, less than 24 hours is the way I like it! […] I feel like a lot of my dreaming time was filled with making bullions last night. Perhaps that reflects how many I have done recently? It reminds me of the nightmare I had when I sent my stitch dictionary off to the printers. I think that my day job is invading my sleep too much! […] Last week I started a new project for the book: a sampler featuring 36 different bullion motifs. It is SO much fun! 36 different motifs – there’s never a dull moment! I am enjoying the fact that after spending months working on a tablecloth that had two main motifs worked millions of times over (ok, […] I spent the last few days madly working on my new project for the book. It is a sampler which will have a large number of bullion stitch motifs on it. It will be an excellent reference piece because of all the different motifs featured on it. Except that they’re not there yet! I did […] This morning I have series of words for you, sourced from Thesaurus.com: all, entire, exhaustive, full, replete, thorough, unabbreviated, unabridged, whole. These are some of the words used to explain the word “complete”. And some more: accomplish, achieve, bring to a close, cease, close, complete, conclude, culminate, end, finalize, fulfill, put finishing touches on, […] I’m back home again today, for a very short while before heading off to Hobart tomorrow for a Mountmellick class on Thursday and Friday. Yesterday’s class went very well, up at Springwood. It is lovely to introduce a new style of embroidery to people and have them “get” it. The ladies really enjoyed themselves. I […] Over the next two weeks I have 3 classes, so I’ll be just a tad busy getting ready for them, and then teaching them. On Friday this week I will be teaching a Mountmellick workshop at the Lake Macquarie Embroiderers Guild Group. Then the following Monday I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework at the Springwood […] As you’ve read through my class details for Beating Around the Bush over the last few days, if you were paying close attention to the dates, you may have noticed I will not be teaching on Wednesday 18th April. This is because there will be a Stitchers Village Fair on that day. I will have […] Yesterday I jumped on the bandwagon. I didn’t really ever expect to jump on it, but I did. I made a biscornu. Ok, that makes it sound like I’ve never made one before, but I admit that I did actually made a teeny tiny one for a friend for Christmas last year. But this is […] |
