I recently had a chat with Gary and Beth at Fiber Talk. It was a chat that had been held over a long time because of my illness, so it was great to finally talk with them again! We talked about my most recent book, about online classes and about Hardanger in general. Have […] I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my followers, readers and fans for their support this past year. While it hasn’t been the easiest of years, it has been so lovely to see the enthusiasm with which my latest book, “Hardanger Filling Stitches”, has been received. Thank you all for your encouragement of […] Today’s post comes about because of someone else’s blog post on AI and embroidery. The author has said she wants more people to read it, and I am linking to it here as I also want people to read it. https://lolliandgrace.com/blogs/blog/artificial-intelligence-in-the-embroidery-space The author, Anne Oliver, lists a number of things that you can look for […] Last November, I got sick. It felt a bit like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I’ve had it before) but also a bit different. Doctors checked for many things and treated some.

I always love visiting The Crewel Gobelin, because it always looks lovely and they always have wonderful new stuff to tempt me. I used to work there […] With the Paris Olympics on, I think back to the time (2018) I invited my twin sister Prue Scott who was living in Germany at the time, to visit l’Aiguille en Fête in Paris with me. We met up with Anne Nicolas-Whitney of Et Brode le Papillon. Prue and I also enjoyed other needleworky touristy […] Organza Hardanger Ornament Following on from my question the other day about projects in my books that you like to make, I’m interested to know about finishing. Most people indicated that the things they like to make are small things like needlecases, bookmarks, scissor fobs, biscornus and Christmas decorations (all of which I […] studying historical needlework samples For some people, qualifications are very important. So as a needlework teacher and author of needlework books, what are my formal qualifications? My training is in design. I have a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication, and it helped me learn to think, problem solve and therefore be creative. […] Last year in New Zealand, I taught some Mountmellick embroidery classes. Mountmellick thread is very different to other threads: it is thick, has a number of strands though is non-divisible, and is completely matte. For those who are used to stitching with, say, a single strand of cotton floss, it is a very different […] |
