Latest news and new kits and books...
Hello, stitching world! Hope you're having a good day today. I am back from teaching at BATB in Australia and what a fabulous time I had. Worked hard, but loved every minute of it! Thank you to every student who attended my workshops and thanks to those who travelled from so far to attend. I hope you enjoyed the classes as much as I did. The BATB team was incredible. The organisation, the planning was extraordinary. The event this year was the best one I have experienced and I look forward to seeing everyone again in the future!Fabulous Talent
I saw all the entries for the Inspirations Stitch Your Heart Out competition and I had goosebumps when seeing some of the entries up close. Congratulations to every winner - you certainly deserved to win! Click on the images to enlarge...Highly recommended
We stayed at the Stamford Grand at Glenelg and it is right on the beach. The views were glorious and the food even better. It's close to shops and restaurants and I recommend it highly to anyone who is visiting Adelaide. A few of us went to Port Willunga and had lunch at The Star of Greece. It was simply delicious! And the beach walk, I enjoyed that very much.New Book Launch
Our new Mandala book was launched at BATB! I am so proud of this book and I have received good feedback on it. Would love to know what you think of it! See the books page on my website for where to buy the book. Click on each book to be taken to different places depending on where you are in this world. It is also available from Inspirations here.The workshops and new kits, colour schemes
The bracelet and embroidered buttons...Fuchsias
Adorn a straw or raffia hat, or a handbag or make a key tassel or scissor fob. The possibilities are endless...
Countryside Flowers and a Little Sunbird
The Countryside Flowers and a Sunbird workshop was fabulous. I really enjoyed teaching all the elements in this design and I think my students did so too! I am busy making a storybook with my samples and having lots of fun. I cut up the throw/blanket into smaller squares and it's working so well. I can stitch on smaller squares whenever I feel like it and will turn them into a book for (hopefully) a grandchild one day! Turn the blanket into pages for a storybook...In the pipeline...

Pink Delight, step-by-step online lesson. I am busy working on Chapter 4 of Pink Delight and will show the step-by-step instructions on my blog as soon as I have completed the section. I have had lovely feedback from stitchers that are working on Chapters 1, 2 and 3 and if you would like to join us you are most welcome to start with Chapter 1. Chapter 2 is here. Chapter 3 is here. The ribbon and thread kit for Chapters 1 to 3 is here and the embroidery panel is here and the multi-purpose needle pack here. The online lessons are free of charge so why not make this your new project. It's a beauty and you are able to follow this lesson step-by-step in your own time, whenever you feel like doing something creative. _________________________________________________________________________________________The Pink Rose Tree kit
This pretty kit was a sellout at BATB. Very popular indeed. We have made more kits and included are the step-by-step instructions and detailed photography and it's suitable for a beginner. Makes a lovely gift too!
From this one kit, you will be able to make two rose trees if you trace your own pot onto a piece of linen or cotton fabric. Otherwise, use the second panel inside the kit and make the pot with that. Enjoy!
Until next time, enjoy your embroidery!
Love
