It’s what you’ve all been waiting for: “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” is now available for pre-publication ordering. This means that if you order now, when our shipment arrives in July, we’ll send your copy to you as soon as it arrives! If the shipment arrives earlier, we’ll send your copy earlier! What […] The other day the proofs arrived from the printer for me to check. There were two sets. One set is known as dyelines, and they’re for general checking, and to make sure all the pages are in the correct order. The second set is the colour proofs. The colour is checked on these proofs, and […] Well, tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow I will hand over my next book, “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”, to my printers’ Australian rep. I’ve never actually done a face to face hand over before. Usually I parcel it all up and send it via courier. It’s a bit new for me, but it will be nice to […] Here is your very first glimpse of my new book, to be released in mid to late 2014.

Apart from spending a lot of time with the family, particularly dressmaking with The Reader, I’ve been working solidly on embroidery for the book during the school holidays. I’ve written an article for […] On Sunday I finished off my red and gold jacket. I’m so very pleased with it, and am looking forward to showing you photos when I have some of me in it! However, I’ve given you a sneak peak of the buttons at the waist. Because it had taken up a lot of my time […] On Saturday night I completed the 28th (and final!) diamond motif on my tablecloth! Happy Day! There is still a lot more to be completed – borders, filling in bits between the diamonds and the hemming. But huge progress has been made, so I’m celebrating! On Friday I completed a very small, but elegant project […] Yesterday I spent much of my day designing tiny little pretty embroideries. They will be quick to do and make fantastic gifts. The embroideries took on a life of their own and also formed themselves into something unexpected. Just like the motifs in “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães” which as an after-thought formed […] I was recently notified that there was an error on the pattern chart for the tablecloth in Portuguese Whitework.
