Following on from White Threads FlossTube #95’s showing of one of my first embroideries, today I show you the first Hardanger embroidery that I made, when I was at school. It was huge, and I adapted various elements to suit what I wanted. I also show you what I think was the first Hardanger I […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, I show and talk about the needlecase project in my upcoming book “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland”. It’s a pretty project featuring more lovely Dutch Heritage fabrics, worked in white linen thread on white linen fabric. The embroidery band on the needlecase is in the style of […] In the last few days I finally sent my next book “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland” to the printer! It is such a relief to have finally done this. In this video, I take the opportunity to show you a project from the book: Frisian Whitework strawberries. I also have an update on what’s […] While I was away in New Zealand, a parcel turned up on my doorstep. It was a little unexpected, though not totally. It contained copies of my first foreign language publication: “La Broderie Blanche Portugaise”. When I was in Paris at the beginning of the year, I met with the general manager of Les […] On Friday I received a lovely surprise in my post office box. My copy of Inspirations 80 had arrived!

My project is a little biscornu, featuring Mountmellick embroidery. It was […] A long, long time ago, way back in 2000, I entered a hardanger I had designed and stitched in the Nordic Needle Hardanger Design Contest. At the time, I was working as a book designer for an international publishing company. I sent off a photo of my embroidery and was delighted when it was selected […] Today I received my copy of Inspirations 76. It is a lovely magazine, as always. Deborah’s Mountmellick tablecloth is simply gorgeous! In the project I have in the magazine – a Portuguese whitework scissor fob called “Squared Away” – I did discover one or two things that I felt were unclear in the diagrams, so […] Image courtesy of Country Bumpkin Country Bumpkin have the new issue of Inspirations, Issue 76, up on their website. I have something in this one: a small scissor fob featuring Portuguese Whitework. If you haven’t tried Portuguese Whitework yet, this little project is a great way to start. And then you can move on […] Now that I am back from Beating Around the Bush, the HUGE mailout begins! Today I will start sending out pre-publication orders of Portuguese Whitework. There is a huge pile of orders to go out – thank you to everyone who pre-ordered! – so it will probably take some days to get through them all. […] |
