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. Most people indicated that the things they like to make are small things like needlecases, bookmarks, scissor fobs, biscornus and Christmas decorations (all of which I […] Hardanger projects from “Early-Style Hardanger” by Yvette Stanton A question I ask from time to time, because I like to be meeting the needs of my audience, is what sorts of projects do you like to make? I like to include a range of things to make in my books, with some large […] Nearly 30 years ago I did a degree in Design (Visual Communication). It was absolutely formative in bringing me to where I am today. Probably because of some feedback from one of my uni assignments, I came to believe that I wasn’t very good at pushing my designs. I think I understood that I […] I saw this posted on Facebook today. It is apparently from Pilot Pen UK marketing, regarding Frixion pens and needlework. I have tried to find the source of this image, but cannot. I therefore cannot guarantee it is legitimate, but it certainly highlights some real concerns for me. I have always been extremely wary […] There is one project in “Hardanger Filling Stitches”: a sampler which uses many of the stitches in the book. It is worked on 28 count linen banding, with linen threads, and a few small beads. The finished sampler measures approximately 28 x 59cm/11 x 23in for the stitching area. I have put together supplies […] Yesterday I mentioned a project of mine that can be found in an old magazine. Over the years I have had many projects and articles featured in various embroidery magazines. Not so much recently, because I’ve been more focused on writing my books and teaching embroidery. However, there’s a lot of content out there that […] A long time ago I played around with Hardanger using an organza or chiffon overlay. This is a bag I made using the technique. I have always loved how it turned out. When you’re stitching through a sheer overlay on evenweave fabric, let’s just say it’s *difficult*. It’s really slow, because when you just […] I’m heading to Sydney today for the QuiltNSW Exhibition marketplace. Setup is on tomorrow (Thursday) and then exhibition runs from Friday to Sunday. I didn’t know whether I would have these ready in time, but I can now say that I will have new pendant kits available at the show! The kit is called […] There is only one project in my forthcoming book, “Hardanger Filling Stitches”. That’s because it is primarily a stitch dictionary. However, I wanted to give you at least one project on which to try out most of the stitches, and so, there is a large sampler. If you haven’t already, you can pre-order your copy […] I have many of my stitched projects on display at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair this week. One that you won’t have seen before, because I only finished it a few days ago, is the project for my next class in Walcha. Introducing the Parterre Hardanger Stitching Accessories Set, which I will teach in […] |
