I don’t think I’ve mentioned here yet that I’ll be teaching at the EGA (Embroiderers Guild of America) 2019 Seminar. This is more than a little bit exciting for me, as it’s the first time I’ll be teaching in the USA! The seminar will be held from October 30 to November 3, 2019 in St. […] From 22nd April until 17th May, I will be out of the office, on a teaching trip. I will be cruising from Sydney to Seattle with the Needlework Cruises and Tours Craft Creations Cruise. While I will have internet access, it is likely to be intermittent. Therefore, any enquiries and orders, I will attend […] I recently went to Paris to visit l’Aiguille en Fête, which is a big, annual craft show, not unlike the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I exhibit at each year. I arranged for my sister Prue, who lives in Germany, to join me for my few days in Paris. She’s an embroidery designer too, […] The ANZEG National Embroidery School is the largest gathering of embroiderers and textile artists at one time in New Zealand. I will be teaching two classes at this year’s ANZEG conference in New Zealand: Early Style Hardanger Panel and Portuguese Whitework Sampler. I believe there is still room in each of these classes. […] Detail of one of Monet’s waterlilies paintings (taken on a previous trip to Paris). I’m going on a quick trip to Paris! This year I have to go to Europe to “mystery destination” to do some research for the NEXT book (the one I have decided upon, but not started yet). I was […] One of the Facebook groups I belong to has asked people to share what they’ve stitched this year. I’ve stitched heaps and most of it will be going into “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”, so I’m not willing to show it all to you just yet. However, the biggest thing I’ve stitched this year was […] From 13th to 19th July 2018, the ANZEG (Association of New Zealand Embroiderers Guilds) Conference will be held in Nelson, New Zealand. I’ll be teaching at the conference. I will have two classes, and will also deliver a lecture about self-publishing. Early Style Hardanger Square Panel Early Style Hardanger Square Panel with tutor […] We’re nearly at the end with The Reader. In just 4 school days time, The Reader will attend her final day of secondary school. Then she’ll have a few weeks holiday (full of study, mind you), a week’s study leave, and then her final exams, stretching over a few weeks. She’s so very ready to […] No, I’m not Norwegian, but I’d be very happy if there was some Norse in my heritage. Despite my lack of Norwegianness, but because I love their embroidery and am so grateful for what Norwegians have contributed to the world of embroidery, I do celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day, which is Norway’s national day. And it […] |
