Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton Also in my new copy of Inspirations yesterday, there was a review by Susan O’Connor, of my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Some excerpts from the review: Yvette has an insatiable fascination with whitework styles and this, her fifth book, explores the embroidery of […] Today I received my copy of Inspirations 76. It is a lovely magazine, as always. Deborah’s Mountmellick tablecloth is simply gorgeous! In the project I have in the magazine – a Portuguese whitework scissor fob called “Squared Away” – I did discover one or two things that I felt were unclear in the diagrams, so […] Image courtesy of Country Bumpkin Country Bumpkin have the new issue of Inspirations, Issue 76, up on their website. I have something in this one: a small scissor fob featuring Portuguese Whitework. If you haven’t tried Portuguese Whitework yet, this little project is a great way to start. And then you can move on […] On Saturday I taught Portuguese Whitework at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I had a lovely day with a lovely group of women. They were very accomplished stitchers and produced great results. Personally, I was extremely pleased that after a week where my health had been up and down and all over the place, I had […] I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend.

I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, […] Last night I arrived home from a really enjoyable weekend in Coffs Harbour. I love going out to country guild groups to teach, as you’re always so very appreciated there! We did the Portuguese Whitework panel from my book (p14) in a relaxed two day class. I started off by showing them a slideshow of […] This afternoon I am heading to Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework embroidery at the guild group there. Yesterday I loaded a whole heap of pictures that I took when we were visiting Guimaraes (sorry, I have no idea how to put the little wiggly […] Tomorrow and Sunday I will be teaching a Portuguese whitework class at A Stitch in Time, here in Hobart. I’ve actually been here a few days now, and have enjoyed some of the sights. Yesterday I had the delight of finding an “Edwardian carver cloth” in an antique shop. Despite the guy who sold it […] On day 1 of this series we looked at the definition of evenweave. Yesterday, on day 2, we looked at the four 38 count linens with which I am familiar, and whether they are really evenweave. Today we’re going to look at what to do if you have the linen for your Portuguese Whitework project […] Yesterday we established what evenweave linen actually is. Today, let’s consider its relevance to 38 count linen. In creating my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães, all the linens I used were 38 count (also known as 20L linen in some markets). I tried a number of different brands: Sotema linen from Italy Graziano […] |
