In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette discusses Merezhka Poltavska, detours a little into a discussion of linen, and shows the Hardanger shirt she’s wearing. (We have a new iron!) If you’re reading this in an email, the video can be found at https://youtu.be/JtwV7FdIe1g Episode notes – products and projects mentioned in the […] Some people go on a book tour when they release a new book. I’ve never done this, but I thought I could instead take you on a tour of some of my books. I know that some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning but some of you are newer to […] A question that more and more people are asking me is “What do you use to create your charts?” So I think it’s time that I explain what I use to make my Hardanger (and other forms of embroidery) charts, and while I’m there may as well explain the other programs I use in my […] This morning I’m off to Queensland for classes in Yeppoon and Gladstone. I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework (we’re doing the Square Mat from “Portuguese Whitework”) and merezhka (we’ll be making the Climbing Rose Runner from “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery”). I’m looking forward to meeting new people, sharing a love of embroidery with them, enjoying […] Yesterday Facebook told me that I hadn’t posted anything to my Vetty Creations Facebook page in a whole FIVE DAYS.

I very much hope to go, seeing I have an interest in Ukrainian embroidery since writing my book Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska. A commentary on the history of the Ukrainian blouse and […] Mary Corbet has written an excellent article on the non-availability of fine white threads for whitework embroidery. This is an issue that has caused problems for me on occasions. When I was about to publish my Ukrainian book – which specified broder cotton No 12 as being the best thread to use – I suddenly […] As you’ve read through my class details for Beating Around the Bush over the last few days, if you were paying close attention to the dates, you may have noticed I will not be teaching on Wednesday 18th April. This is because there will be a Stitchers Village Fair on that day. I will have […] I heard from the wonderful Barb Suess yesterday that she’d recently been teaching at an EGA seminar and my stitch dictionaries The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion were disappearing very quickly from Ruth Kern Books. (I don’t think she meant that they were being shoplifted, either…) This is music to my ears. […] Yesterday I was talking with a lady who wanted to order a copy of Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery for her friend. She said she already has her own copy and loves it. She’s taken the techniques and run with them, having recently completed a merezhka project that she adapted from filet crochet, featuring grapes. I’ve […] |
