I spent the last few days madly working on my new project for the book. It is a sampler which will have a large number of bullion stitch motifs on it. It will be an excellent reference piece because of all the different motifs featured on it. Except that they’re not there yet! I did […] I’m back home again today, for a very short while before heading off to Hobart tomorrow for a Mountmellick class on Thursday and Friday. Yesterday’s class went very well, up at Springwood. It is lovely to introduce a new style of embroidery to people and have them “get” it. The ladies really enjoyed themselves. I […] This is the third of the classes I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush in April next year. To book into classes, please visit Country Bumpkin’s website, where you can book online. Class 52: Mountmellick Lily Cushion Thursday 19th and Friday 20th April 2012 Learn to work traditional whitework embroidery from Ireland. Mountmellick […] Writing the blurb for the back of a book is an interesting challenge. You have to succinctly describe the contents of the book in such a way that it is irresistible to the reader! It is quite a challenge. Following are some suggestions for the blurb for my new book “Portuguese Whitework”. I’d love your […] I’m coming up to a little flurry of teaching. In addition to the class that I yesterday told you about in Hobart, on Monday 26th September I will be teaching a small panel of Portuguese Whitework at the Springwood Arts Centre. For more information and bookings, please call Ruth Marshall on 0407 235 215. […] I have a question for you today.

Normally I have introductory stuff including a bit of history, then how to do it all (step-by-step stitch instructions and technique instructions), then projects that can be made. I’ve been […] Well, I really wasn’t planning on putting this up on the blog just yet. After all, its still way more than six months until the book will be released. But just yesterday I found a black and white picture of it on someone else’s blog. I can’t say I was pleased. However, I can’t withhold […] I have set up an email list specifically to send people updates about my upcoming book “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães”. Yesterday I sent out my first update, mostly just to welcome people to the list, but it does also give a sneak peak preview of the cover of the book. If you’d like […] Yesterday was my girls’ school’s athletics carnival. I had been planning on going from about lunchtime onwards, but then I realised their races were in the morning, so that I really had to go then. I had wanted to get some work done at home in the morning, and the fact that it was going […] Yesterday I spent some time fiddling around with a cushion design. I design on computer, placing motifs and elements on a grid which represents the fabric. This means I can move things around easily, try things out, and get a good visual idea of how things are working. I went through a few different possibilities […] |
