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 […] I realise that many of you buy my books online or order them from your favourite needlework store, having never really seen what’s inside them, unless you’ve seen a friend’s copy. That’s quite a leap of faith! Today I’m going to give you a flick-through preview of all my books, so that you can see […] Today’s White Threads FlossTube video has an explanation of thread twist, and how it relates to the teaching of left-handed students when right-handed teachers say “sit opposite me and mirror what I do”.
