I will be teaching a class in 2012 on obscure stitches and ones that people often feel are too difficult to attempt. Stitches like plaited braid stitch, spiral trellis, cable plait stitch (they’re the more difficult ones) and diamond stitch, crested chain stitch, spanish knotted chain stitch, and sorbello stitch (they’re some of the unusual […]

Here’s a great opportunity for anyone who’s got nothing to do just after Christmas – learn something new! Merezhka at Springwood Arts Centre, Springwood NSW Monday 17th January 2011, 10am-4:30pm Bookings: Ruth Marshall, 0407 235 215 Merezhka is drawn thread work from Ukraine. Merezhka Poltavska is the name of this specific type of merezhka, […] Yesterday I spent some time planning a project for a class next year. The class is possibly going to be on a type of Portuguese embroidery, but to get the shop to agree, I need to show them an example of what I mean. In this case, that means stitching it. How sad, to have […] 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 […] 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. She told us that she and the ICA group that she is part of, are currently learning Mountmellick embroidery in Ireland. 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 […] 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 […] |
