She also sheds light on the mystery of […] Today’s episode of White Threads Floss Tube (number 36 – I can’t believe I’ve done that many already!) has wide ranging topics. They include how to choose the right needle size for your thread; a reader sample of plaited braid stitch successfully made using only my instructions; two plaited braid stitch projects both of which […] In 2008, as I was recovering from serious illness, I worked an Elizabethan project with lots of plaited braid stitch on it. I learnt so much about the stitch from doing this, and was able to write comprehensive step-by-step instructions for my stitch dictionaries because of it.

This one is an Elizabethan style embroidery, with beautiful […] I started work yesterday on a new Elizabethan embroidery, which I had designed while holed up in the house on Tuesday. The project is for a class proposal. My first step was to go a few suburbs to the local embroidery shop which stocks Au Ver a Soie threads. I arrived and found the […] I thought I might spend a bit of time over the next few days giving you more information about the classes I’ll be teaching at Beating Around the Bush. Elizabethan Strawberry Roundel With Yvette Stanton Sunday 15th April 2012 This charming strawberry ornament features Elizabethan embroidery stitches such as buttonhole filling, reverse chain stitch and […] Last night we took our girls out for a huge treat (a treat for us too!).
