Some people go on a book tour when they release a new book. I’ve never done this, but I thought I could instead take you on a tour of some of my books. I know that some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning but some of you are newer to […] In about 2 weeks I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. The fair runs from 17th-21st June, 9am – 4:30pm each day, at the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island. This is the second year of the fair at Glebe Island, and most people agreed last year that the new venue […] Today is International Left-Handed Day, and as I am left-handed, I do enjoy the fact that we get our own special day! I’ve had many interactions over the years with other left-handed stitchers, and many have loved having me as a left-handed embroidery teacher. I have heard horror story after horror story of them being […] Well, here we are in 2013 now. 🙂 Hopefully this year will see the production of the phone app versions of my two stitch dictionaries.

For the story behind these images, you can read a previous blog post. Shown, (L-R, top to bottom) we have Diamond Stitch, Square and […] Sorry for the lack of exciting posts. I’ve been buried in stitch diagrams, resaving them one after another for use in my stitch dictionary app. Occasionally I’ll get a batch that go through quickly, but usually it is a slow, laborious, uninteresting process. I’ve also been packing cartons of books to be shipped to the […] Yesterday I finally managed to get back to preparing files for the app. Truthfully, I had been putting it off, because resaving files into the correct format for an app is complete drudge work! The process was taking too long, so I knew that I needed to streamline it. I had been mulling over for […] Yesterday morning I installed the first test build of my stitch dictionary app on my phone. It wasn’t entirely a success, but its a start! I can see that in time, with a lot more work from both me and the developer, it will be excellent. This is a new process for me, creating an […] |
