Before I visited Teulada to research for my book “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada”, I arranged to meet up with members of their town’s cultural association, Associazione Culturale Is Sinnus, Teulada, while I was there.

I’ve been neglecting you. I’m sorry. The office purge has been continuing here. The bins went out absolutely choc-a-block last week, and I still need to refill them for this week. I’ve finished the embroidery panel for the bottom of the dress I am making, and started on my next project. I’ve been doing stuff […] Happy New Year! Yes, I realise that I’m a few days late, but just yesterday we arrived home from a family break in Canberra. We drove down on the day after Christmas (known as Boxing Day here in Australia), much to the chagrin of my sister in law who thought that we were mad heading […] A few Tuesdays ago I posted on here that I was going to be away for a little while, firstly teaching in Hobart, and then on a writing retreat. Not all went to plan… On the Tuesday that I posted, I was descending into a flu-like illness. It wasn’t the flu, but it was pretty […] Yesterday, after going to the earlier service at our church we drove down to the Southern Highlands.

Sandra was one of the US teachers who joined us. You might enjoy reading her account. Michele Hill (of William Morris quilting fame) was one of the students in my […] I’m currently down in the Southern Highlands at the Berrima Patchwork “Quilting in the Highlands Retreat”. I’ve finished the first of my classes, which was the Mountmellick class, and I had a wonderful time. I also believe that the students greatly enjoyed themselves. Last night we had a trivia night, which was great fun. […] Yesterday’s blog post prompted some questions from readers. I get the feeling some of you were a bit incredulous. That’s ok, we’ve experienced that incredulity before. We got the question, “Where are your bags?” a few times during our trip! “May I ask whether you used a specific bag pattern, what fabric you used for […] Back in January I told you how I was planning to make luggage for all of us for our next international trip. That was the trip we’ve just been on. I did indeed make luggage for us, and it went really well. Our bags ready to go home with us in Venice airport. […] As you would know (because I have been extremely quiet on here lately!) the Vetty Creations office was closed for about 3 weeks. I needed time with my family, and I unashamedly shut the business during that time. Well, I was actually not even here. 🙂 We were away on a family holiday, and I […] |
