Writing the blurb for the back of a book is an interesting challenge. You have to succinctly describe the contents of the book in such a way that it is irresistible to the reader! It is quite a challenge. Following are some suggestions for the blurb for my new book “Portuguese Whitework”. I’d love your […] I’m coming up to a little flurry of teaching. In addition to the class that I yesterday told you about in Hobart, on Monday 26th September I will be teaching a small panel of Portuguese Whitework at the Springwood Arts Centre. For more information and bookings, please call Ruth Marshall on 0407 235 215. […] If any of you are in Hobart (or nearby) you might like to know that I will be teaching a Mountmellick embroidery class at A Stitch in Time on 29th and 30th of September. The project will be my Honeysuckle and Rose Doily. You can find out more details and book through the shop itself: […] I apologise for the lack of post on Friday.

I’ve been mulling over exactly what I need to explain and in how much detail. If you know my books I tend to have quite a lot of detail, and *lots* of steps. I figure that I need to assume you know nothing, […] Well, I really wasn’t planning on putting this up on the blog just yet. After all, its still way more than six months until the book will be released. But just yesterday I found a black and white picture of it on someone else’s blog. I can’t say I was pleased. However, I can’t withhold […] I have set up an email list specifically to send people updates about my upcoming book “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães”.
