Over the weekend we continued with removing the paint from the brickwork at the front of our house. It was slow work, and it is looking very different. We’ll get there some day! In my down time, I got stuck into doing some more work on Luzine Happel’s left-handed Schwalm project.

I was one of the three readers of Mary Corbet’s Needle’nThread selected to test Luzine Happel‘s left-handed schwalm embroidery instructions. I’m thrilled!

Her reviews are so terribly thorough that probably all your questions will have been answered in one go! Some excerpts from Mary’s review: Well, here it is! Yvette Stanton’s new hand embroidery book, Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery […] If you’re a left-hander (and somehow I suspect that a few might congregate around here…!) and you enjoy whitework (I suspect that we might have a few of them too…!) there’s an opportunity afoot for you. Mary Corbet of Needle’nThread.com has presented an opportunity for English-speaking left-handers who’ve never tried Schwalm embroidery to work through […] Now that the book, Portuguese Whitework, is getting out there, people are starting to ask “Where can I get the fabric?” The answer is “RIGHT HERE!” 🙂 Over the next day or so I will be adding a complete range of Portuguese Whitework supplies to the Vetty Creations website. I already have the stock, so […] |
