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) […] 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 […] 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 […] 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.

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 […] 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 […] Yesterday morning when Belinda and I were carting stuff out to the car, a truck pulled up out the front with what looked to be council workers in it. I said “Looks like some guys have come to dig up the footpath or something.” Then I noticed their woodchipper on the back, and realised they […] I got an email yesterday from my printers to let me know that my advance copies of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion are currently being couriered to me.
