When I was on the needlework cruise earlier this year, I had some really interesting conversations with some of the students. One lady, Irene, said that she had visited Cuba and while there, she had seen people working whitework embroidery. She wondered if I would be interested in seeing some? Would I ever! After the […] One of the most popular posts on this blog has nothing to do with embroidery, but is instead about a visit to an Ethiopian restaurant here in Sydney. The one we previously visited in Bankstown has closed some time back, but there is a new one now open! Jambo Jambo African Restaurant, like the previous […] Last night I came back from a lovely weekend away, teaching the Mornington Peninsula group of the Victorian embroiderers guild and a group of embroiderers at the headquarters of the Victorian guild. Both groups did Portuguese Whitework classes, but different projects. The classes went very well, with some excellent quality stitching in evidence. They were […] The last two days of classes were Portuguese whitework classes for me. Each day I was teaching two single day classes concurrently.

I met some delightful people, and did some new things. The Voyager of the Seas docked in Sydney Docked right near the Sydney Harbour Bridge Me and my ship When I […] An iconic Sydney landmark for you all. 🙂 Bye! Here’s the view from the ship as we wait to sail. I am unlikely to have any internet access while away, so I’ve set up a few posts to automatically post while I am away. Lots of pretty needlework to look at. When I get back hopefully I’ll be able to regale you with […] No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth! I’ve been busily working away writing instructions for kits and putting all the elements together to make the kits for the cruise. Making sure I have *everything* is really important, because there won’t be any needlework shops I can just pop down to when I’m […] |
