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. If […] In today’s episode of White Threads FlossTube, I show you the first of my smøyg shirts, and the band sampler from my book “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”.

First, sm as in small. The ø sound is […] This year, I will again be at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. It’s on at the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour from 20th to 24th June. Stand D06: go in the front entrance, turn left and head for Aisle D – Stand D06. Look for the orange flag. My new book will […] 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 was […] At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair on the weekend, I revealed the subject of my next historical embroidery book. Note, I did not say “historical whitework book”, and that’s because this time it is not whitework! My next book will be entitled “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”, and the embroidery is done in […] |
