new Ukrainian whitework book by
[email protected]
Have recently got myself a copy of a wonderful new book "Gay Eaton's
Ukrainian Whitework". Gay is a New Zealander, who has previously
written a book on Wessex stitchery.
This book presents Ukrainian whitework, including merezhka (and she
spells it the same way as me!! :D )
She's done a great job...

needlework shops to visit in NY city by
[email protected]
Hi,
We're going to be visiting NY (Manhattan) in July, and I would like to
visit any needlework shops that stock evenweave linen such as for
Hardanger embroidery.
I can find heaps and heaps of knitting and yarn shops when I Google,
but not needlework shops. Is this a reflection of the sad state...

ruffles... frills... what do you call them? by
[email protected]
Hi,
I have been having an email conversation with an American friend and we
discovered we have different terms for those gathered edge bits around
the edge of a cushion/pillow.
Here in Australia, we call them frills. My friend, in America, refers
to them as ruffles.
Odd question, I know, but...

Hardanger stitch instructions by
[email protected]
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a revision of my Hardanger book. I'm thinking
about the order that the stitch instructions appear. What do you prefer

of stitching are probably different - I would naturally...

deerfield embroidery by
[email protected]
Hi,
Does anyone know of any good resources for learning Deerfield
embroidery? Books, websites, museums etc?
Someone mentioned this style of embroidery to me recently and I thought
I really must look into it.
Does anyone know if it is done in crewel wools or linen thread or
something else?

Stitch with the Embroiderers Guild by
[email protected]
Hi,
Does anyone know where in Australia you can pick up a single copy of
this magazine from the UK guild? Nowhere that I have tried has it.
Apparently in the latest issue there's a review of my book, but I'm not
able to find a copy to read it in!
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

redwork - origins? by
Yvette
Hi,
A friend was talking to me about redwork today. She said that she
thought that it originally came from Turkey (hence turkey red). She
mentioned this at her local quilting shop and they thought that was
not right.
Does anyone know where this style of work originated?
Thanks!

Peri Lusta thread by
Yvette
Hi,
Has anyone ever heard of this thread? My mum found some in her box of
stranded cottons. She wanted to match it, and of course no-one's ever
heard of it! (I found a close colour match in my DMC threads for her).
But, we're wondering what on earth it is. She thinks that perhaps she
got it from...

I did the first part of a two day course today at my local guild on
Myreschka embroidery. Always wanting to know the traditions behind
these sorts of things, I asked the teacher if it was traditionally

Does anyone here know...

Hello,
Can anyone tell me of the names/addresses/websites of suppliers of
authentic Mountmellick supplies? E.g. cotton satin jean, and matt

Anywhere in the world is OK.
