I have been taking quite a number of bookings for classes for next year. I teach Hardanger, Merezhka (Ukrainian drawn thread work), and Mountmellick embroidery. I am also currently devising some classes based on teaching and experimenting with unusual and difficult stitches. I am an accredited tutor with the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. If you would like [...] Thank you to all those who have commented on my idea for a beginners Hardanger booklet. It has been interesting reading why you think it would be helpful to you – such as that you’d like to use a booklet like that while travelling. This makes me think that you’d like it in a smallish [...] With my recent Hardanger class for beginners, I wrote extensive step-by-step notes as a handout for the students, so they could take reference home with them, to refer to. One of the students in the class said to me a couple of times “No, don’t show me. I’ll see if I can do it from [...] I was talking with the ladies in my beginner’s Hardanger class yesterday about my “depressing” list of books that I have to find time to write. (Its only depressing because it will take me 7-14 years to get through them all!) They wanted to know if any of them were Hardanger. I think there was [...] A little while ago, Angelina from Ireland commented on one of the posts on this blog.

I was so interested that I asked her to share some more with me and all you lovely [...] Another review of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion for you today. This one is from Mary Hickmott’s New Stitches. I received my copy of this a while ago, and just yesterday found it again at the bottom of a pile of books, so now I can share it with you. From the review in the May 2010 [...] The show finished last night at 5pm, and my husband and I had packed up and were out of there by 6:30pm. Home to my kiddies and all the things that have been put on hold for the week. Tomorrow I’ll be starting to teach a beginner’s Hardanger class (project picture below) for The Crewel Gobelin [...] Well, I have had two great days at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Show. I have met several people I have heard of before, but never met. Yesterday I met Gina Marion who wrote two Hardanger books for Sally Milner Publishing some years ago. She is delightful. I also have had several long time customers [...] Here’s the finished Hardanger embroidery bookmark. This is a thank you gift for Gillian, giver of the beautiful Turkish scarf.I used a new type of finishing for it, that I thought up in a lucid moment the other day, and was pretty pleased with the result. I’m not entirely happy with the fact that the Algerian [...] I need a new Mountmellick embroidery design for a class and decided to let you in on the process that I go through. I have decided that I’d like it to be a cushion – not for any particular reason – just because. When I design a new Mountmellick project, I have to choose which plants [...] |
