Ruth Klein has sent me photos of her beautifully stitched Hardanger Filling Stitches sampler. I so love seeing what people have done with my design. Often they are personalised with colour or other variations to the original design, which I delight in seeing. Thanks for sharing this with us, Ruth, and congratulations on such […] I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my followers, readers and fans for their support this past year. While it hasn’t been the easiest of years, it has been so lovely to see the enthusiasm with which my latest book, “Hardanger Filling Stitches”, has been received. Thank you all for your encouragement of […] Last November, I got sick. It felt a bit like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I’ve had it before) but also a bit different. Doctors checked for many things and treated some. After many months I was well enough to regularly drive 1 1/4 hours to the closest Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for treatment.

Amazing that there are so many different filling […] 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! […] A little bit of visual inspiration for the end of the week: the sampler from Hardanger Filling Stitches. I’ve noticed recently that many orders come in over the weekend. It seems you all have the chance to sit down and do a bit of dreaming about what you’re going to make or work on […] If you’re in the UK, there’s a profile of me in the latest edition of Stitch magazine. And there’s an extract of the sampler from Hardanger Filling Stitches. I hope you enjoy it! Yesterday I received an email from Janette. Congratulations on the new book! It’s marvellous, and I can attest that there are quite a few of us here who purchased copies as soon as it was published 🙂 Something to be justifiably proud of, together with your other publications; a wonderful contribution to the […] |
