On Friday afternoon, I headed west on the train to Lithgow, then changed to a coach service to take me out to Parkes in Central West NSW. It was a journey of about 7 hours, but it was quite relaxing. I really should have taken a little personal light with me so that I could […]

I am honoured to have been invited to teach in New Zealand in January 2017, by ANZEG (Association of New Zealand Embroiderers’ Guilds). My “tour dates” (I should get black T-shirts made up with these on the back, don’t you think?) are as follows: 4th/5th Jan: Otago/Southland (Dunedin) 7th/8th: Canterbury (Nelson) 10th/11th: Cook […] After sending Early-Style Hardanger off to the printers on Thursday, it’s been no rest for the wicked. I went to Melbourne on the weekend to teach one of the projects, a biscornu, from Early-Style Hardanger for the Embroiderers Guild Victoria. I had a simply lovely weekend sharing a subject I am passionate about with […] Once “Early-Style Hardanger” is published, I’m going to look at doing some online classes. But I can start *thinking* about them already. There’s a lot to think through. Have you ever taken an online class which was in a counted technique? Did you make a mistake with your counting? Did you find where the mistake […] Firstly, thank you to everyone who either commented on the blog or emailed feedback regarding my questions about the type of needlework instructions that you’d prefer. It was really interesting and useful to hear all the points of view, and why people preferred what they preferred. Today’s question is about video demonstrations. This is something […] We’re back from the needlework cruise! I say we, because this time The Husband came with me, which was lovely. The Reader and The Gymnast had a holiday at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, which they did enjoy, but they missed us (and we missed them!). From the beginning, this was a different sort of travelling […] I’m nearly done with all my preparation for my cruise classes. There are piles of stuff on the table, each one for a different class, plus other piles of stock to sell. I’m still undecided about whether to take my laptop with me on the cruise. It would mean that I could work on […] In just over a week I’ll be off on another watery adventure. This time I will be teaching embroidery on a cruise from Fremantle (Perth) to Singapore. We’ll stop off at Port Hedland, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh. It’s a 15 day cruise, and I’ll be teaching on 6 of the at sea days. The […] I now have the details of my next Hardanger class, newly rescheduled due to revived interest from Inspirations Magazine’s Facebook and Pinterest posts! Morning Meadow – Beginners Hardanger class, with Yvette Stanton The Crewel Gobelin, Killara NSW Saturday 2 and Saturday 16 May 2015 12.30 – 4.00pm each day (7 hours tuition time) Learn […] Last Thursday the lovely people at Inspirations magazine posted a picture on Facebook and Pinterest of Hardanger that I taught in a class back in 2010. The picture linked to the blog post about the class that I was going to be teaching at The Crewel Gobelin (way back in June 2010 when the […] |
