It’s been a long while coming… Finally, after a long break in supply, the beautiful Klass and Gessmann sitting stands and interchangeable embroidery hoops are back in stock! In the hands of a new supplier, the supply of these should be much more reliable now. YAY! These are my very, very favourite hoops to use. […] Yesterday I found myself wanting to reread my post about the ideal scissors for cutwork. It was great to read it again and remind myself of all the things I look for in a good pair of scissors for working cutwork embroidery such as Hardanger, Portuguese Whitework, merezhka, Schwalm etc. I found that the […] Tomorrow I’ll be heading off on my next research trip. It’s more than a little bit exciting! I’m nearly all packed, and as you’ll know if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, I travel with only cabin luggage where possible. This time I’ve managed to keep the weight to about 6kg including the […] I think my sewing machine has died. My lovely mechanical Bernina bought when I was about 15 and doing Textiles and Design at school. It’s a bit sad. It has lasted me nearly 25 years, but I don’t think it’s under warranty any more. 😉 Yesterday morning I realised that my daughter and I were […] This is extremely decadent: a post just for the sake of one person. 🙂 (Everyone else is welcome to read it too, though!)

Each year, on the first weekend in December, The Husband, The Reader […] In my travels around the internet the other day I was looking for linen banding. Linen banding is rarely available here in Australia, so I usually have to look further afield. I was delighted to find the German company Vaupel and Heilenbeck. Vaupel and Heilenbeck are manufacturers of beautiful linen banding (they also do some […] When I was in Singleton recently, I took my own needlecase with me as that’s where I store my needles. One of the class participants was quite taken with it, and wanted to know if the pattern was available. It is now! Hardanger Needlecase Pattern by Yvette Stanton Available from Vetty Creations. The needlecase features […] Whenever I teach a class I take my little scissors with me and they travel around the classroom as I go. Invariably, because I am comfortable with them, I use them when demonstrating how to cut threads in Portuguese Whitework and Hardanger embroidery. In Portuguese Whitework, there are usually eight threads to be cut […] On Christmas Day my great aunt was telling me that she’s going to have to downsize from her house in the coming year. She’s a very spritely 80 something year old, but she wants to move somewhere smaller before someone has to move her! She invited me and my husband to visit and help her […] On Saturday at lunch time, during my class at Coffs Harbour, some of the ladies were talking about a 3 dimensional needlelace ship that one of them had made. It sounded quite intriguing. At lunch the next day, Robyne brought out her ship. It was simply amazing! Robyne Bunter's incredible needlelace ship There […] |
