I had a wonderful day yesterday teaching merezhka to a lovely group of ladies in Springwood. They did a great job and produced some beautiful embroidery. A couple of the ladies in the group had already bought my book Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery and worked the large scale sampler (we were doing a project of […] Yesterday I received an order of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion from a lovely lady who told me about the circumstances that resulted in her purchasing the book: Last year I attended a course at [a patchwork shop], to do with hand-appliquéing designs. There were 3 left-handers out of 12 participants, and one had your book […] A few weeks ago I received an email from a lady in Canada who wanted a copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. A friend of hers was coming to Sydney on a visit, and had agreed to purchase her a copy while here and take it home to her. The lady wanted to know where […] I’ve been spending some time over the last few days adding “like” buttons to my website (you can see one at the bottom of this post).

I am finding this book invaluable in my City and Guilds stitch samples. I […] With the Vetty Creations Christmas ornament swap underway, I’m already thinking about Christmas. I hate leaving things to the last minute – I do not thrive on stress as some people do! Here in our house, and probably many others, it is common practice for various family members to affix a list of Christmas present […] 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 […] |
