White Threads FlossTube #71 – Frisian Whitework runner

Today I introduce you to the Frisian Whitework runner from my forthcoming book, “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland”. It’s a very adaptable design that you’ll easily be able to use.

I also show and talk about two of the Dutch Heritage fabrics that I’ve used for projects in the book.

The printer’s proofs of the book have a cameo in this episode, which you may find interesting if you’ve never seen such things before.

I tell you about two fabulous upcoming textile exhibitions in Europe that I’d love to visit, and won’t be able to, but maybe you can!

Episode notes:
Dutch Heritage Fabrics. The link is to where I bought mine in Amsterdam, but you may also be able to get them locally to you. (I have since bought some in Australia.) I will be providing these fabrics in the Biscornu and Needlecase project supplies packs for “Frisian Whitework”.
