If you haven’t yet seen it, I have an article in the current issue of Inspirations magazine (Issue 83) entitled “The Velvet Weavers of Venice”. Quite a number of people have told me they really enjoyed the article. As a follow up, for those who would like to see a bit more, I’ve just […]
I had a great few days in Adelaide, attending Beating Around the Bush. I arrived on the Tuesday afternoon and set up my stand for the market day. I had shipped across two boxes of books and took a suitcase full of other stock, and samples to display on the wall. It meant that […]
You may have noticed the dress I was wearing in the photograph that I posted yesterday. At least one person did, because I received an email saying, “You should mention the lovely dress you are wearing in photo.” This suited me fine, because I was planning on talking about Florence Broadhurst today! The […]
On Friday I received a lovely surprise in my post office box. My copy of Inspirations 80 had arrived! This is the 20th anniversary of Inspirations magazine, and to celebrate they have 15 projects all by Australian designers, one of whom is me! My project is a little biscornu, featuring Mountmellick embroidery. It […]
Today I received my copy of Inspirations 76. It is a lovely magazine, as always. Deborah’s Mountmellick tablecloth is simply gorgeous! In the project I have in the magazine – a Portuguese whitework scissor fob called “Squared Away” – I did discover one or two things that I felt were unclear in the diagrams, […]

If you haven’t tried Portuguese Whitework yet, this little project is a great way to start. And then you can move on […]
While in Adelaide, I had the opportunity to launch Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Months before, I had talked with Fiona from Country Bumpkin about the possibility of doing this, but I wasn’t sure that it was going to be possible until I knew that the books were here in Australia in my […]
Last night, on a forum that I belong to, I read that someone had done a write-up of their experiences with making my Hardanger panel for the Treasure Chest project that’s in the current issue of Inspirations magazine. You can find Jillian’s write-up on her blog, AlwaysStitching. Congratulations to Jillian, on such a magnificent […]
In the most recent issue of Inspirations magazine I have a Hardanger project – Treasure Chest – a collaboration with Janie Hubble. One of the features of this design is needleweaving that has groups of three parallel woven bars. The process for doing these neatly so that the thread doesn’t show up obviously […]
On Friday I received my copy of the latest issue of “Inspirations” magazine. In it I have a new Hardanger project published. The project was a collaboration between me and Janie Hubble. At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair last year I found some lovely scrummy Cottage Garden Threads colours and felt that I […]
