This morning I’m off to Queensland for classes in Yeppoon and Gladstone. I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework (we’re doing the Square Mat from “Portuguese Whitework”) and merezhka (we’ll be making the Climbing Rose Runner from “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery”). I’m looking forward to meeting new people, sharing a love of embroidery with them, enjoying […] On Friday afternoon, I headed west on the train to Lithgow, then changed to a coach service to take me out to Parkes in Central West NSW. It was a journey of about 7 hours, but it was quite relaxing. I really should have taken a little personal light with me so that I could […] Premax 2.75in / 7cm embroidery scissors This morning I was taking part in a discussion on the best scissors for Hardanger in a web group. I posted a link to my favourite scissors for Hardanger (Premax 2.75 inch / 7cm embroidery scissors), the ones I use, love, and therefore sell. The conversation carried on, […] I received a lovely email from a customer, Jane, the other day. “A few months ago I re-ordered 3 of your books that I lost when a flood hit Dungog.

This is always a fabulous conference, with lots of wonderful tutors, students and classes. This year I will be teaching the following classes: Portuguese Whitework Bookmark – Sunday 28th September, 2014 […] I’ve just spent the morning updating the classes page on my website. These are all the classes that are currently finalised for 2014 and 2015. There’s a great mix of new projects and old favourites. Take a look and see which ones you’d like to join me for. By clicking on the images below, you’ll […] Well, the big news of the day is that the brochure for the 2014 Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide has been released to those who had signed up for information via the Country Bumpkin website. I can’t find a direct link for the brochure on the Country Bumpkin website, but you could […] I was recently notified that there was an error on the pattern chart for the tablecloth in Portuguese Whitework. On the chart, some of the pink numbers which denote the count of threads are incorrect. Wherever it says 60 threads on the pattern, it should say 72. The written instructions within the book are correct. […] Firstly, I believe that the Sydney region bush fires have made news around the world. I live in Sydney, but I’d like to assure you that I am fine, and the closest fire is about 50km away from us. We have prepared our home for bush fire, though I still have a little more to […] |
