If you’re in the UK, there’s a profile of me in the latest edition of Stitch magazine. And there’s an extract of the sampler from Hardanger Filling Stitches. I hope you enjoy it!

Yesterday I received an email from Janette. Congratulations on the new book! It’s marvellous, and I can attest that there are quite a few of us here who purchased copies as soon as it was published 🙂 Something to be justifiably proud of, together with your other publications; a wonderful contribution to the […] The other day I received a lovely email from Elena K in Finland. Six months ago I didn’t know about the existence of hardanger, but now it’s my favorite hobby. These are my works. I have been studying from your book for six months. Thank you! Wow, Elena! Your work is beautiful! I […] This week, after an exceptionally LOONNNGGGG wait, I have finally received new stock of the Premax ringlock scissors which are my choice of scissors now that we can no longer get Dovo Hardanger scissors. I find cutting with these scissors like cutting butter. They feel LOVELY in hand. I used these scissors while working […] On the weekend, I had a question from Christine, who has nearly completed the sampler in Hardanger Filling Stitches. She’s now feeling like she’d like to design some of her own Hardanger pieces. I’m all for this!

So often, I send images and words off to magazines and never see the resulting article or review because […] Diana asked me: “[For Hardanger] when you pull the threads, do you do it on a ring, or frame, or flat surface, or just in hand? I was taught that it should be done on frame (or at the least a ring) and bit by bit, not all of them, filling section by section […] This is the order I generally use for stitching Hardanger. 1. Satin stitch I do satin stitch first as it forms the framework for all other parts of the design. I start near the centre and work outwards. I include buttonhole stitching here, as it usually has the same role as satin stitch in […] Stitch tension is the thing that most people told me they needed help with when I was writing my book Hardanger Filling Stitches. If you’re one of those people, page 42 is the page for you – it’s all about tension! The image above illustrates the difference poor and good tension can make. Good […] When I was working the samples for my book Hardanger Filling Stitches, I found that a tiny little hoop was really useful for working filling stitches with diagonals, such as the Wheel Stitch shown. Having the fabric flat in a hoop meant you couldn’t accidentally work the stitches too tight, resulting in unpleasant puckering […] |
