Some years ago – about five, actually – I taught a class where the project was a traditional-style Hardanger runner. I’ve had a photo of it on the Hardanger page of my website for many years, but I’ve never actually made the pattern widely available. From time to time I receive emails from people […] On Saturday I taught Portuguese Whitework at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I had a lovely day with a lovely group of women. They were very accomplished stitchers and produced great results. Personally, I was extremely pleased that after a week where my health had been up and down and all over the place, I had […] I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend. Enrolments in my classes are going very nicely, and it looks like the classes will be reasonably evenly split between Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick embroidery. I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, […] On day 1 of this series we looked at the definition of evenweave. Yesterday, on day 2, we looked at the four 38 count linens with which I am familiar, and whether they are really evenweave. Today we’re going to look at what to do if you have the linen for your Portuguese Whitework project […] I spent much of yesterday updating the class page on my website. It is fully updated now, with all the details that I have so far. There is a visual listing of all the projects, so you can see all the photos together, and a calendar listing so that you can see what will be […] Into Craft has done a review of my book “Portuguese Whitework”. You can also go into their contest to win a copy! From the review: “This book is not only packed with projects embroiderers will want to stitch, it will be a reference text for many years to come.” Head on over to Into Craft […] On Saturday I was at the Embroiderers’ Guild of NSW exhibition to do a demonstration of Portuguese Whitework. All of the guild tutors had been offered the chance to do either a talk or a demonstration, and each day of the exhibition there were about 4 tutor presentations. As it turned out, I believe I […] I have a standing joke with Mary-Anne who runs A Stitch in Time in Hobart. She repeatedly and mistakenly calls my Portuguese whitework “Hungarian whitework”. And then when she’s feeling particularly silly she’ll call it Hungarian Folk Dancing. We laugh and both know that she’s actually referring to Portuguese Whitework. I have no idea how […] Just a word of warning: if your group or shop is looking at booking me for a class before the end of 2013, you’d better get in quick. My husband has very kindly organised me today with a great big dates planner. We’ve put in all the existing teaching bookings, and there are not many […] I thought you might like to see a photo of my much enjoyed Schwalm project. It is designed by Luzine Happel, and I am working it to test her left-handed instructions for it. It is extremely enjoyable to work, and oh, so pretty! |
