From New Zealand, I received a photo of Elizabeth A’s completed smøyg panel from my recent class there. This looks lovely! Well done Elizabeth! Elizabeth has plans to add some more smøyg around this panel as a border, so that she can make it into a cushion. She did warn me that this was […] I always tell students in my classes that I love seeing photos of finished class projects. This was sent to me by Andrea O, who was in my smoyg class on my recent trip to New Zealand. Students had the choice of using my colour scheme (black with pink, blue and straw) or their […] I’ll be at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair next week. It runs from Wednesday 28th June to Saturday 1st July. Please note it no longer goes to Sunday – just Wednesday to Saturday! The Vetty Creations stand will be F07. To find it, head towards the catering section and I’ll be right on the […] At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair next week, I will have a range of whitework and counted embroidery kits for your convenience. Some are part of our long term range, and others are new. New to the Sydney show are Portuguese Whitework Embroidery Tin, Flores Brancas Guimarães Sampler, Smøyg Tin, and Noel Christmas Cross […] Today I take you through a range of gift ideas for Christmas, birthday or other gifts.

I also take you […] Today on White Threads Floss Tube the big topic is online classes, and what’s been stopping me from running them. I’ve been pondering a particular problem for years, and while I really do want to run online classes, I have not yet overcome this problem. I’d love your input if you have a possible solution! […] I have now organised three embroidery workshops in the NSW town of Walcha (where I live!). Each class is a two day class, from 9am – 4pm daily, with a 1 hour break for lunch. Our venue, Walcha Handmade, is a small creative co-operative, with quality gifts and souvenirs available. We will be holding […] Today I show you one of the smallest projects from my book “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” – the scissor keep. This is a great first project, to learn the basic techniques and try out something new. You also end up with a really pretty but practical scissor keep in which you can store needles […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette shows you the cushion from her book “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”. Smøyg is Norwegian pattern darning, and pattern darning is just running stitch, so it isn’t difficult. The cushion features a design based on the babies’ wraps of Setesdal in the south of Norway. https://youtu.be/8u2k69_aG_M If […] |
