This style of embroidery is called Punt’e Nù, and is from Sardinia, off the coast of Italy. It is a really unusual style of embroidery, in that it is made from hundreds (thousands?) of tiny knots worked on the surface of the embroidery. That makes it really textural and really quite unique. Shown is […] In a very similar vein to my recent post about my Portuguese Whitework sampler (square mat, always catches eyes!), today I thought you might enjoy the Square Mat from my book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery. Sardinian knotted embroidery is known as Punt ’e Nù, and comes from the town of Teulada in Sardinia.

This has always interested me. I’ve always wondered why. I’ve wondered whether whitework is seen as the […] At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, I’ll have a range of whitework embroidery threads for you: Mountmellick embroidery threads and knitting cotton, coton a broder, coton floche (new to Vetty Creations!), pearl cotton 8 and 12, and Londonderry linen threads. You can use these threads for Mountmellick, Hardanger, Frisian whitework, Schwalm, Portuguese whitework, Sardinian […] I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair in just a few weeks’ time. I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!)

I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!) Today I’d like to show you some of the whitework fabrics that I will have with […] I’ve scheduled two classes during May, here in Walcha (NSW, Australia). I’m sorry that makes them inaccessible to people who are a long way away (like outside Australia). Certainly within Australia, all borders are finally open now, which is great! Whenever I post about classes, people lament the fact that they are in-person, and that […] In today’s episode of White Threads FlossTube, I let you know that I’ll be having a stand to sell my wares at the Australasian Embroidery Convention in Brisbane NEXT WEEK! It’ll be at the Brisbane Convention Centre, from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th. The Vetty Creations stand will be B26. It’s a large stand, so […] Today I take you through a range of gift ideas for Christmas, birthday or other gifts. There are some that are small, some that are mid price and some that are bigger ticket items. Hopefully there is something for everyone, and for all budgets, to inspire creativity and learn something new. If you are […] We cover a whole heap of things in this episode of White Threads FlossTube, including how to check if your threads are colourfast, that I think I’ve decided on and started work on my next book, a reminder about the Whitework Embroidery group on Facebook, and a look at the Leafy Framed Panel project […] |
