In October 2022, I was tagged in a FB Hardanger group comment by a woman named Donna. She was wishing for a compendium of Hardanger filling stitches (she later told me she’d wanted such a book for 40 years). She tagged me, because she felt that I should write that book. I thought about […] In response to yesterday’s copyright post: Thank you for the lively discussion. This is my page and I expect a certain level of behaviour here. I ask that you be kind and respectful. I retain the right to shut down discussion when needed, like if I have way too much to do to monitor […] At the end of last week I took possession of the Australian bulk shipment of Frisian Whitework along with five other reprints. This means ALL my books, including the long-awaited reprint of Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature, are back in stock. My dad and I organised them all into my warehouse. It […] Over the years, I have had contact with many people all over the world through my interests in needlework, my interaction in needlework-focused online groups, and through my business. People come and go. Some hang around for a very long time, and I’m so very grateful. Some move on to other interests.

There are more to come in a future video – I can’t stop at just five! If you are reading this in an email, the […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, I show you a special embroidered gift, and the story behind how it came to be given to me. It’s a piece of Chinese embroidery, and I explain one of the reasons why I love looking at embroidery from other cultures. If you are reading this in […] Since I started doing my White Threads FlossTube videos a few weeks ago, I’ve had a lot of lovely encouragement from people letting me know how much they’re enjoying them and learning from them. It is so good to hear this, so thank you to all who have encouraged me in this way. When you […] I recently went to Paris to visit l’Aiguille en Fête, which is a big, annual craft show, not unlike the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I exhibit at each year. I arranged for my sister Prue, who lives in Germany, to join me for my few days in Paris. She’s an embroidery designer too, […] Recently I entered two of my Hardanger embroideries in the Fabrics-store.com Home Decor Contest. I entered the Hardanger lampshade and Hardanger runner from my book Early-Style Hardanger. I asked my friends, family, FB fans and blog readers to vote for my entries, thinking that if we all banded together I *might* be able […] |
