NZ teaching trip report

I posted regularly about my NZ teaching tour while I was there, on social media. I wasn’t able to also post here, as it is a little harder to do. So today I’d like to share with you some of the images from my trip.

I had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed sharing my […]

First finishes from NZ trip

Whenever I teach a class, I always tell the students that I love to see photos of finished work, even if it is 10 years down the track! The first two photos have come through, following my recent New Zealand trip.

Lesley Anderson completed her Frisian Whitework Tree of Life within days of […]

Heading to New Zealand

Today I start heading in a New Zealandly direction, and the Vetty Creations office is closed. I won’t get to any more orders other than what has already come in, and therefore will have to send any that come in today, upon my return. All orders and enquiries that come during my absence will […]

Auckland class availability

I’ll be in New Zealand next month on a teaching tour. Despite the fact that it has been organised extremely quickly, to cleverly capitalise on a cancellation of other classes elsewhere, most of the classes have already filled.

However, there is one small opportunity for you if you’d like […]

November NZ teaching trip

A couple of weeks ago I had a phone call from a lovely lady in New Zealand. “So, because you’re not going to London, would you come to teach us instead?”

Apparently they were all sitting around in their embroidery group discussing things and they decided there was nothing to be lost from asking me […]

A class in Gippsland, Victoria?

It looks like I’ll be doing a teaching trip to Tasmania and Victoria next year, in April-May. I’ve had a few enquiries from people in the Gippsland region of Victoria in the past little while. There doesn’t seem to be an embroiderers guild group in that region, so there’s no point in me approaching them. […]

Hardanger workshop in Walcha

I have many of my stitched projects on display at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair this week. One that you won’t have seen before, because I only finished it a few days ago, is the project for my next class in Walcha.

Introducing the Parterre Hardanger Stitching Accessories Set, which I will teach in […]

Upcoming classes

I’ve scheduled two classes during May, here in Walcha (NSW, Australia). I’m sorry that makes them inaccessible to people who are a long way away (like outside Australia). Certainly within Australia, all borders are finally open now, which is great!

Whenever I post about classes, people lament the fact that they are in-person, and that […]
