Yesterday I received a photo from Ruth, who was one of the students in my classes on the needlework cruise that I taught on in February this year. Ruth took my Mountmellick class and my Portuguese Whitework Panel class.
From the photo (which Ruth has given permission for me to share), you can see that she did an excellent job! Congratulations, Ruth! Your work is lovely, and you should be extremely proud of your results.
If you ever take one of my embroidery classes, I love seeing the finished project! Please email photos to me! It makes me so very happy to know that you finished the project.
I always offer to my students that if they get stuck on anything to do with the project after the class has finished, that they should call me or email me for help. I’d much rather that I was able to help than that they stuck it in the bottom drawer and felt defeated by it!
So, having just finished the Berrima Patchwork “Quilting in the Highlands Retreat”, in time, I’m looking forward to seeing some completed projects from there, too.
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Congratulations to Ruth on finishing both pieces so beautifully!!!
Now I am itching to start the Portuguese whitework too, so far I have only drooled over the patterns in the book. BUT I did manage some stitches on a Hardanger piece from Yvette’s book at my last lace day, and there were a few Ooohs and aahhhs at how nice it looks, and I haven’t even started the cut parts yet!!
love to see more pictures everyone
