Well. I’m still a bit bereft of ideas for how to work the lily bud. Looking at the whole design, I think it needs to be a thin outline (perhaps), with a light filling. This is because the other parts of the design that are nearby have either wide outlines or are completely filled. The [...]

As I regularly do, I was visiting Amazon yesterday to have a look to see if anyone had written new reviews of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Umm… yes… they had. Many of them…! As a left-hander myself, I was very interested to see if this book would improve the constant struggle with learning and implementing new [...] Because I have set you the challenge of thinking about your favourite stitches, I have been considering what mine are. Its not so terribly easy, is it?! So the easiest thing for me to do was to look through my left and right-handed stitch dictionaries. So here’s my list: up and down buttonhole stitch (p28) – there’s [...] Today, after a little break to hopefully help those who need to catch up to do so, we’re back to our Mountmellick embroidery stitch along. We’re moving on to the opening lily flower. I’ve decided to work this one in cable plait stitch. Cable plait stitch is one of three stitches that are said to be [...] I was working on my exhibition embroidery recently and decided to test something that I had been wondering about. I had been pondering what would happen if you worked a feather stitch, stab-wise (ie, not scooping), but instead of just bringing the needle up inside the curve of working thread, you wrapped the thread round [...] My husband brought the local newspaper in from the letterbox on Thursday morning. As I ate my breakfast, I paged through it. A little way in, (definitely further than page 3…) I was shocked to turn the page and find myself smiling back at me! A long-lost article about me and my left-handed stitch dictionary was [...] I’ve decided to enter an embroidery in an exhibition. The Embroiderers’ Guild of NSW, of which I am a member, is having an exhibition called “Stitch + Stitch = Magic” in September. Its focus is contemporary, innovative embroidery and design. The entry forms have to be in by tomorrow, Friday, so I posted mine off yesterday. [...] 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 [...] Ta Da! The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary was delivered yesterday afternoon. That means I will be posting all orders today, and all future orders will be posted as they are received. The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion came about because The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion was receiving such rave reviews from both left and right-handers, that [...] Not much to say today. I haven’t been well – been sleeping, knitting and keeping warm. But I thought that you would like to know that failing dock strikes (and they haven’t happened around here in many a year) or such things, my shipment of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion should be arriving some time this week.
