I have a very limited number of Smøyg Band Sampler supplies packs available. Any orders that come in after the supply is exhausted will be refunded, with apologies, and I will mark it unavailable on the website. It is unlikely I will restock these again, unless there is enough demand. The supplies pack contains […] Yesterday I updated my print runs spreadsheet to account for the book delivery I received from the printer last month. I was surprised to find that 84000 copies of my books (across eleven titles) have been printed. I’m quite shocked by this. Not bad for an accidental career, if I do say so myself! […] As an author, illustrator and photographer who also designs the layout of her books (I have a degree in visual communication and my major project was in book design), I feel that makes my books somewhat unique.

Each of my books has a copyright statement in the […] Yesterday I finally sent off the files to the printer for “Hardanger Filling Stitches” and reprints of “Early-Style Hardanger”, “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” and “Portuguese Whitework”. Hooray. I’m exhausted! A common question that I get is, “Which of your books do you recommend for a beginner?” That depends on so many things… How much of a beginner are you? Are you a complete beginner to embroidery, or are you a beginner to the styles of embroidery that I do? Have you done any […] 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 all 10 of my books available at the show, and I’d love to autograph […] On the weekend, we had the Walcha Show here in Walcha; the best little small town agricultural show in the district! There are lots of competitions at the Walcha Show, including needlework and handicraft. I give you a little tour of the pavilion. I also introduce you to my newest Hardanger kit – the Hardanger […] |
