My class at EGA 2019 Seminar

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 […]

The ANZEG National Embroidery School is the largest gathering of embroiderers and textile artists at one time in New Zealand.

From 2017 to 2018

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 […]

I’ll be cruising again next year

In April/May next year I’ll be tutoring on the Craft Creations Cruise, from Sydney via the South Pacific and Hawaii, to Seattle. I’ve done a couple of cruises with Needlework Tours and Cruises before, as a tutor, and they are always most enjoyable.

I’ll be teaching three projects: Early Style Hardanger […]

Working on a book project with my hoop and stand

Two weekends ago I began work on one of the larger projects for the book. It’s a sampler and features bands of the embroidery, from different locations and in different styles.

Successful teaching tour of New Zealand

Off to New Zealand!

On 3rd January I left Australia, having had hot weather of mid 30s (Celcius), arriving into Dunedin with temps of less than 10 degrees, with […]

My research trip was fantastic!

I’m back! The trip was fantastic and I learned so very much. I visited museums, met with stitchers and also visited an amazing private collection. The curators and stitchers were so kind with sharing their knowledge and expertise.

I’m back in the office today, (as well as being driver for a relative who is […]

This morning I’m off to Queensland for classes in Yeppoon and Gladstone. I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework (we’re doing the Square Mat from “Portuguese Whitework”) and merezhka (we’ll be making the Climbing Rose Runner from “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery”).

I’m looking forward to meeting new people, sharing a love of embroidery with them, […]
