Once upon a time I taught a class in merezhka at Springwood, here in NSW. We did a small panel of merezhka as an introduction to the style. There were many lovely ladies in that class, but there was one student who *really* took to merezhka. Big Time. Sharron absolutely loved the embroidery style […] In the next couple of months I’ll be teaching some classes here in Sydney. I’d love you to join me for either of these classes! Up first is a class at Mosman Needlecraft on 9th and 10th March. I’ll be teaching the Portuguese Whitework handtowel from my book. If you’d like to participate in this […] When I went away overnight the other day, I suggested that I would get about 1.5 hours of stitching time each way, there and back. I calculated wrongly – actually it was more like 2.5 hours each way! However, due to the fact that I kept making mistakes, I didn’t end up having very much […] I spent parts of the weekend doing some new stitching. It is a style I am exploring as a possible book subject. I am loving every minute of working it!

We did the small honeysuckle doily from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. They did a great job, and some were very vocal about how much they were learning and enjoying the class.

I’m sure I will have a lovely day sharing embroidery with others! I hope you have a great day too! Today I am going to direct you to the blog of a friend of mine. I’ve mentioned “Jeanine in Canada” as she is known, before, but her blog is so excellent that it is definitely worth mentioning again! Jeanine’s blog is called Italian Needlework, and that’s exactly what it covers. Jeanine writes her blog because […] I’m getting itchy feet again. I want to go somewhere and learn about a new-to-me style of historical whitework. And this time, I think I want to look at Eastern Europe – the Baltic states, the Balkans and all the countries in between. With so many different regional styles of costume, there just HAS to […] Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton Also in my new copy of Inspirations yesterday, there was a review by Susan O’Connor, of my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Some excerpts from the review: Yvette has an insatiable fascination with whitework styles and this, her fifth book, explores the embroidery of […] Last week I posted the details of a new (old) Hardanger pattern which I had finally put on my website. It has been very popular, so in the lead up to Christmas, I thought it might be worthwhile to post about one of my favourite little designs – my organza Hardanger Christmas ornament. The Organza […] |
