Adelaide book launch

While in Adelaide, I had the opportunity to launch Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from GuimarĂ£es. Months before, I had talked with Fiona from Country Bumpkin about the possibility of doing this, but I wasn’t sure that it was going to be possible until I knew that the books were here in Australia in my possession, […]

Portuguese Whitework now available in Europe!

Portuguese Whitework is now available in Europe! đŸ˜€

Its early days yet, so while the big online book retailers (I think you’ll know the ones! Amazon, Book Depository etc.) have it already, it might take a little longer to make it to your favourite needlework store or bookstore. If you want your favourite store to […]

the mail out begins

Now that I am back from Beating Around the Bush, the HUGE mailout begins! Today I will start sending out pre-publication orders of Portuguese Whitework. There is a huge pile of orders to go out – thank you to everyone who pre-ordered! – so it will probably take some days to get through them all.

I’m back!

I had a WONDERFUL time in Adelaide at Beating Around the Bush. Enjoyed the class, and market day, and loved hearing Jenny Adin-Christie last night at the gala dinner.

I really enjoyed spending time with the other tutors, socialising and talking shop. I was just a little overawed to meet some of the international […]

Back from Maitland

I’m back from Maitland and had a wonderful time! The two classes that I ran on Portuguese Whitework went really well, and I’m pretty sure the students enjoyed them greatly.

I have never met a group of more attentive hosts. They were so welcoming and so accommodating of my needs. Many took part in organising […]

Maitland visit

Tomorrow and Wednesday I will have the pleasure of being with the Maitland Embroiderers, teaching a couple of workshops. I spent a couple of days with them last year doing Mountmellick embroidery, and it was a wonderful time. From memory I had one of my Portuguese whitework projects with me, as my current project, and […]

Portuguese Whitework tablecloth

This is my favourite project (and favourite image!) from Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from GuimarĂ£es. I wanted one really big, really impressive project for the book, and this is it!

I started this cloth when I was in Ethiopia back in 2010, so it has special memories attached to it, of our time in […]
