There is one project in “Hardanger Filling Stitches”: a sampler which uses many of the stitches in the book. It is worked on 28 count linen banding, with linen threads, and a few small beads. The finished sampler measures approximately 28 x 59cm/11 x 23in for the stitching area. I have put together supplies […] Yesterday I learned (thanks Kate!) that Jacob from Modern Folk Embroidery recommends my book Frisian Whitework. Thanks Jacob! You can see his recommendations of his favourite books on Dutch embroidery here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okMrXbVH8MY I also have “Letter Voor Letter” and it is a gorgeous book. […] In the days before Christmas, the bulk shipment of Hardanger Filling Stitches books arrived from the printers! With the help of a wonderful band of fabulous friends and generous relatives, they were sorted and moved into my storage space. As well as “Hardanger Filling Stitches”, I received new print runs of “Early-Style Hardanger” and […] I’ve just learned that the cargo has been delayed. The ship was supposed to dock in Sydney (Port Botany) on the 10th, but is only arriving today. Delivery to me will now be after Christmas. And THEN I’ll do the massive mail out of Hardanger Filling Stitches. Ah well, it gives me more time […] The bulk shipment of Hardanger Filling Stitches books is likely to arrive at my storage facility in Sydney just a few days before Christmas. The delayed arrival is due to congestion at ports. While there is often congestion at ports at Christmas time, this has been compounded in Sydney because of a recent cyber […] I posted regularly about my NZ teaching tour while I was there, on social media. I wasn’t able to also post here, as it is a little harder to do. So today I’d like to share with you some of the images from my trip. I had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed sharing my […] Whenever I teach a class, I always tell the students that I love to see photos of finished work, even if it is 10 years down the track! The first two photos have come through, following my recent New Zealand trip. Lesley Anderson completed her Frisian Whitework Tree of Life within days of […] I’m back from NZ, safely at home, and I’m supposed to be back in the office, but I’m unwell. Not covid, thankfully, but also not surprising, given how exhausted I was from the trip! I thought you would like to see what arrived while I was away: the advance copies of “Hardanger Filling Stitches”! […] A very popular Hardanger filling stitch is the Greek cross, sometimes also known as the Maltese cross. This is beloved by many because there are so many things you can do with it; so many lovely variations! We will explore some of the other variations later in this series. We’re part way through a […] In a very similar vein to my recent post about my Portuguese Whitework sampler (square mat, always catches eyes!), today I thought you might enjoy the Square Mat from my book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery. Sardinian knotted embroidery is known as Punt ’e Nù, and comes from the town of Teulada in Sardinia. (That’s Sardinia, […] |
