FiberTalk Podcast A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having a Skype conversation with Gary and Christine from the FiberTalk podcast. It was such an enjoyable way to spend some time – talking about needlework, culture and the way those two things are related, about my stitching history and about my […] I received my copy of Bunad Magazine today, which includes a review of Early-Style Hardanger. A translation of the original Norwegian text is as follows: “Australian book about Hardanger When Yvette Stanton researched for her book, she visited the Norwegian Folk Museum and the Hardanger Folk Museum to study old folk costume garments where the […] I’m home from Beating Around the Bush. I had a fantastic time at Market Day, and also catching up with people at the meal times etc. I arrived on Friday morning.

I hope that we’ve given […] This morning before the craft show started for the day, they awarded the Australian Craft Industry Awards. You may remember that “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” was one of the finalists for Craft Book of the Year. It WON! 🙂 It is very gratifying that the judges (who were industry experts) decided that […] Last Thursday night I arrived back from my research trip in Europe. It was wonderful to see my family again. We’d all missed each other! In the time I was gone, I managed to take over 1000 photos, which The Reader and The Husband have since sat through. The Gymnast gave up well before the […] Last night I came back from a lovely weekend away, teaching the Mornington Peninsula group of the Victorian embroiderers guild and a group of embroiderers at the headquarters of the Victorian guild. Both groups did Portuguese Whitework classes, but different projects. The classes went very well, with some excellent quality stitching in evidence. They were […] |
