At the end of last week I received two emails about whether the 38 count (also known as 20L) linens which are on the market are evenweave or not. Let’s start with a definition of evenweave: Evenweave linen means that over the same direction across both the weft and warp of the fabric there are […] I’ve just added a new product to the Vetty Creations website: Sewline fabric pencils. This fabric marking pencil is much better for marking fabric than a normal HB pencil and a fabric marker pen (texta). Why? It has ceramic lead that is designed to be easily removable from fabric. It washes out easily and rubs […] Into Craft has done a review of my book “Portuguese Whitework”. You can also go into their contest to win a copy! From the review: “This book is not only packed with projects embroiderers will want to stitch, it will be a reference text for many years to come.” Head on over to Into Craft […] Yesterday I had a lovely day at Lyn’s Fine Needlework at Baulkham Hills, here in Sydney. There were 10 students for a Portuguese Whitework class. This class came about during the craft show back in June. Jeanette, the owner of Lyn’s Fine Needlework, had come over to have a chat with me, and we decided […] On Saturday I was at the Embroiderers’ Guild of NSW exhibition to do a demonstration of Portuguese Whitework. All of the guild tutors had been offered the chance to do either a talk or a demonstration, and each day of the exhibition there were about 4 tutor presentations. As it turned out, I believe I […] Most of the classes will be this project from my book "Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães" Class bookings have gone quite crazy here. Hardly a week goes by when I don’t have a new class enquiry. I’m now booked well into 2013, so soon I will have to stop taking any further bookings […] Just a word of warning: if your group or shop is looking at booking me for a class before the end of 2013, you’d better get in quick. My husband has very kindly organised me today with a great big dates planner. We’ve put in all the existing teaching bookings, and there are not many […] For those of you who are conversant in Italian, there is a new review of my book available at Tutto Ricamo. An excerpt (not a great translation, but it gives you an idea, at least!): “Even a beginner, following the excellent instructions, can make virtually all the projects in this book!” Thanks to Tutto Ricamo […] For those of you in Sydney and the surrounds who have been patiently waiting for a Portuguese Whitework class, you’ll be pleased to know that I will be teaching at Lyn’s Fine Needlework at Baulkham Hills on 30th July 2012. The class is a single day class, and we will be working the framed panel […] If you’ve been eyeing off the 38 count linen that I supply, you’ll have a pleasant surprise today. Possibly the first thing you’ll notice is that the price has dropped! This is because the linen is a new product – just as lovely – but with a lower price. Graziano discontinued their Nuovo Ricamo linen […] |
