To all the people who are currently at the EGA National Seminar in Atlanta, I hope you’re having a wonderful time! I submitted to teach at this seminar, WAAAYYY back, and am now so glad that my classes weren’t selected. I’m simply not well enough. Going all the way to the US for 5 […]

With the Paris Olympics on, I think back to the time (2018) I invited my twin sister Prue Scott who was living in Germany at the time, to visit l’Aiguille en Fête in Paris with me. We met up with Anne Nicolas-Whitney of Et Brode le Papillon. Prue and I also enjoyed other needleworky touristy […] There’s a question that many Kiwis, particularly the ones who are booked into my classes at the upcoming ANZEG conference, have probably been wondering. “Will Yvette be teaching at the ANZEG conference this year?” (I have two classes scheduled, booked in before I got sick.) Here’s my answer. It is my intention to be […] Last week I had a big decision to make. It was basically crunch time for pulling out of this year’s Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. Sadly, I have pulled out due to ongoing illness. I had been hoping that I would be well enough to attend, but I have realised that it will just […] Another Mountmellick finish today from my recent teaching tour of New Zealand. This is Maggie’s Mountmellick Wildflower cushion. It looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with me, and allowing me to share it with others.

In the end, my life took a different path. With the passing of time and the benefit of hindsight, I am so very […] From New Zealand, I received a photo of Elizabeth A’s completed smøyg panel from my recent class there. This looks lovely! Well done Elizabeth! Elizabeth has plans to add some more smøyg around this panel as a border, so that she can make it into a cushion. She did warn me that this was […] Last year I booked to exhibit at Tamworth Craft Alive this coming March (15th-17th March 2024, at TRECC). This is my local craft show, and I wanted to be at it. There are lots of Embroiderers’ Guild NSW groups in the wider region including Tamworth, Armidale, Gunnedah, Narrabri and Singleton. And I wanted to […] Another finish from a class on my recent New Zealand teaching tour. This time, Karen’s Mountmellick Wildflower Cushion. The stitching on this is simply gorgeous – you’ve done a marvellous job, Karen! If you’d like to make a wildflower cushion of your own, this is available as a kit. There are also two other […] I posted regularly about my NZ teaching tour while I was there, on social media. I wasn’t able to also post here, as it is a little harder to do. So today I’d like to share with you some of the images from my trip. I had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed sharing my […] |
