A couple of weeks after Tina showed me (and all of us) her progress on the Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler, she has now completed it and it is magnificent! Here’s what Tina had to say about it: I am sitting here looking at this finished piece and I am more than thrilled with how […] “I wanted to share my progress! This is about five days of progress. Tina” Last year, Tina signed up for my “Frisian Whitework silk sampler self-paced video online course”. She has started work on the project and is doing so well! Her stitching is absolutely beautiful. Well done, Tina! If you’d like to do this […] Because of the way the pandemic changed our lives, we all realised that maybe we didn’t all need to be in the one place at the one time to meet.

And that means, so are our Frisian […] studying historical needlework samples For some people, qualifications are very important. So as a needlework teacher and author of needlework books, what are my formal qualifications? My training is in design. I have a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication, and it helped me learn to think, problem solve and therefore be creative. […] Last year in New Zealand, I taught some Mountmellick embroidery classes. Mountmellick thread is very different to other threads: it is thick, has a number of strands though is non-divisible, and is completely matte.
