Gumnut Yarns Buds silk threads as used in my Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler. I’m thrilled to be posting this today, because I never expected to be able to. Gumnut Yarns Buds silk threads are BACK (in limited colours and availability, but the ones I want are)! And that means, so are our Frisian […] To all the people who are currently at the EGA National Seminar in Atlanta, I hope you’re having a wonderful time! I submitted to teach at this seminar, WAAAYYY back, and am now so glad that my classes weren’t selected. I’m simply not well enough. Going all the way to the US for 5 […] With the Paris Olympics on, I think back to the time (2018) I invited my twin sister Prue Scott who was living in Germany at the time, to visit l’Aiguille en Fête in Paris with me. We met up with Anne Nicolas-Whitney of Et Brode le Papillon. Prue and I also enjoyed other needleworky touristy […] Organza Hardanger Ornament Following on from my question the other day about projects in my books that you like to make, I’m interested to know about finishing.

I have a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication, and it helped me learn to think, problem solve and therefore be creative. […] I posted about “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” only about 3 months ago, however as I am getting almost daily requests for the revised book, I need to address it again. “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” is currently out of print, and has been for way longer than I had intended. After I finished working on […] Last year in New Zealand, I taught some Mountmellick embroidery classes. Mountmellick thread is very different to other threads: it is thick, has a number of strands though is non-divisible, and is completely matte. For those who are used to stitching with, say, a single strand of cotton floss, it is a very different […] Following my recent video on embroidery hoops, Jenn asked me some questions: “Should I use a hoop for hardanger? I do use one with larger satin stitch motifs but tend to do the rest in hand. I am wondering if I should be using the hoop when I do the needleweaving?” These are great […] Yesterday I updated my print runs spreadsheet to account for the book delivery I received from the printer last month. I was surprised to find that 84000 copies of my books (across eleven titles) have been printed. I’m quite shocked by this. Not bad for an accidental career, if I do say so myself! […] |
