I started work yesterday on a new Elizabethan embroidery, which I had designed while holed up in the house on Tuesday. The project is for a class proposal. My first step was to go a few suburbs to the local embroidery shop which stocks Au Ver a Soie threads. I arrived and found the […] Well, here we are in 2013 now. 🙂 Hopefully this year will see the production of the phone app versions of my two stitch dictionaries. (That makes it sound like it is someone else’s responsibility, but let me assure you it is very much my responsibility. It’s just slow going…!) And then I very much […] Yesterday I spoke with one of the people associated with Operation Foundation in Fiji. They work in both the men’s and women’s prisons in Suva helping to rehabilitate the male and female prisoners so that they can go back to their communities on release. We discussed the possibility of me spending the day teaching […] I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend. Enrolments in my classes are going very nicely, and it looks like the classes will be reasonably evenly split between Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick embroidery. 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 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.

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 […] Last week’s very interesting to write series on 38 count linen and whether it is evenweave or not, came about from questions that were emailed to me. I figured that if two people were asking such similar questions, then others might want to know the answers also. If you have questions for me, please do […] I spent much of yesterday updating the class page on my website. It is fully updated now, with all the details that I have so far. There is a visual listing of all the projects, so you can see all the photos together, and a calendar listing so that you can see what will be […] Recently the amazing Sue Spargo, quilt maker and teacher extraordinaire visited Australia for a teaching tour. Sue teaches beautiful quilt designs often highly embellished with hand embroidery. You can see some of her gorgeous work at the blog of Addicted to Fabric, which was one of the shops she visited while she was here. I […] |
