I am honoured to have been invited to teach in New Zealand in January 2017, by ANZEG (Association of New Zealand Embroiderers’ Guilds). My “tour dates” (I should get black T-shirts made up with these on the back, don’t you think?) are as follows: 4th/5th Jan: Otago/Southland (Dunedin) 7th/8th: Canterbury (Nelson) 10th/11th: Cook […] After sending Early-Style Hardanger off to the printers on Thursday, it’s been no rest for the wicked. I went to Melbourne on the weekend to teach one of the projects, a biscornu, from Early-Style Hardanger for the Embroiderers Guild Victoria. I had a simply lovely weekend sharing a subject I am passionate about with […] If you missed them, you can read parts 1 and 2. Fotografiska, Stockholm, Sweden On our holiday, The Husband and The Reader left about a week earlier than The Gymnast and I did, and went to Amsterdam. The Reader really enjoyed using a new camera to take lots and lots of beautiful black and white […] If you missed part 1, you can read it here. Greve Museum, Greve, Denmark My next stop on my textiles tour was Greve Museum, 30km south of Copenhagen. It was a bitterly cold day with a biting wind the day I visited. I was deposited on a quiet, semi-rural road by the bus, to walk […] While on my holiday, I saw as much embroidery and textiles as I could reasonably squeeze in. There were a few places that I had to pass on seeing, such as folk costume museums that were not in the capitals, and therefore a long way away from where I was going to be. 🙁 So, […] When I was in Copenhagen, I visited a couple of fabric-y, embroidery-y type stores. I had done a bit of investigating beforehand and had marked a map with places I thought that I might like to visit. All textiley, design type shops. The first day we arrived in Copenhagen was a Sunday. Of course all […] Ok, I’ll spill the beans on where I’ve been. You’ve been left wondering long enough! The Gymnast and I waited until the end of the school year before jetting off to Zurich. The Reader and The Husband left a little earlier and flew to Amsterdam for a few days. We did some sightseeing around Zurich, […] Well, I’m back. Actually, I was yesterday too, but it was filled with lots of running around doing work stuff and family stuff. I had a great break over Christmas. We did lots of family things together, and had many new experiences. I saw some embroidery, visited some new places, experienced different temperatures, and learned […] I’ve been plugging away at the book, and keep meeting little milestones, which helps! To help pass the time while I’m so busy, here’s a photo I took while in Bergen, Norway, last year. This was taken on 17th May which is Norwegian Constitution Day – the national day. There was a large parade through […] A little while back one of my students from the cruise in April sent me a photo of her finished Elizabethan Strawberries project. She’s done a marvellous job and gave me permission to share the photo with you. Congratulations Judy P! This was a small class, aimed at experienced embroiderers, with very dedicated students. […] |
