My poor wren is languishing, not quite forgotten. 🙁 However, I’ve been busily stitching and writing for the next book this week. Oh, I love what I do! How pleasurable to wake up in the morning, answer a few emails, get on with writing stitch instructions and drawing their diagrams, and then stitch. Of course, […] Yesterday I decided it was time to try out a scary new stitch on the embroidery that I’ve been working on. It’s a stitch that’s been on my radar for quite some time, but I’d been too scared to try it. It involved cutting threads and then working very close to unfinished ends. That scared […] Thank you to all who commented on the blog, on FB or emailed me privately yesterday in support of my blog post. I really was terribly unsure about posting it. Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth, and I wasn’t sure if this was one of those cases. It was encouraging to hear from […] I’ve been toying with the idea of this post, and I’m still not really sure about it. I don’t know what you’ll think of it, and I don’t really even know what I think of it. However, perhaps it needs saying. Yesterday I received an email from an Australian reader who loves my books: “I […] On Sunday the craft show ended for another year. It was a fabulous show in a lovely new venue. I sold many copies of my new book and shared the embroidery from it with many, many people. I did little demos of how to stitch the knots, and explained where it came from. A common […] Tomorrow at 2pm on the Australian Women’s Weekly stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, I will be giving a talk on the writing of “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”. If you’re there at the fair, please come along! I had another wonderful day at the show today. Again, I am absolutely exhausted and can’t wait […] This morning before the craft show started for the day, they awarded the Australian Craft Industry Awards. You may remember that “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” was one of the finalists for Craft Book of the Year. It WON! 🙂 It is very gratifying that the judges (who were industry experts) decided that […] Last week I received a thoughtful and detailed review of “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery” from Robert. Here’s what he had to say: The reasons I love your book: You bring a new cultural experience to the rest of us. Your sharing of the techniques and patterns helps me appreciate the region and encourages me to learn […] The mail out of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery was going so well that I accidentally ran out of padded mailers on Tuesday! Thankfully my supplier had them in stock so they arrived yesterday, though unfortunately they came so late in the day that I was unable to actually post anything that day. I’ll continue sending out […] Well, it looks like my shipment of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery will be arriving on Friday. Because I don’t actually know what time of the day they’ll arrive (and because I already have other things planned that I must do on Friday), I might be able to get started on the mailout that day, but […] |
