TAST 2012: satin, stem, crossed buttonhole, wheatear and half chevron stitches
Posted on May 10, 2012 at 22:39 0 Comments 0 Likes
Dear all,
From my enormously long blog post title it is easy to tell that I was waaaaaayyyyyy behind :). However, over the past few days I was able to catch up. In between being social, going to a workshop myself (by Mrs Vos who teaches traditional Staphorster Buttons, a bit like Tamari) and keeping an eye on our vegetables in the garden, I managed to do some stitching. And it was good fun too! Although I have done quite a bit of stitching, crossed buttonhole, wheatear and half…

Dear all,
Just a short post to say that I stitched another rattle snake today. I used Tentakulum cotton a broder colour Van Gogh and ribbon floss Klimt to stitch the body and tongue. I used a perlé from Ver au Soie to stitch the head.
Unfortunately, I've got a terrible cold! I need to travel to Köln (Germany) tomorrow to demonstrate embroidery at the H & H Messe. What a mess!

TAST 2012: couching, running stitch and wheels
Posted on March 19, 2012 at 18:07 0 Comments 1 Like
Dear all,
I was way behind with my TAST-piece again! Unfortunately, we had to attend another two memorial services. One for a good friend and young father of two precious girls and one for my maternal grandma. I hope these two were the last in this series as I rather dislike these kind of celebrations.
I have enjoyed working with the Tentakulum threads again. I used gimp (colour Klimt) for two little flowers. I couched it down with a blue Aurifil thread. As this gimp is quite…

Dear all,
I had a rather busy week last week: the Handwerkbeurs Zwolle was upon us. I attended with the Royal School of Needlework. We were lucky to have some incredible pieces from the collection on display, as well as some of the students work. Reactions from visitors were very positive. Each day I gave a short workshop in a particular technique. Not easy with all the people milling around and the noise :)!
But today was nice and peaceful. After catching up with my emails,…

Miriam said… Dag Jessica,
Veel Nederlandse TAST-ers zijn er inderdaad niet volgens mij. Erg leuk om te ontdekken dat jij ook meedoet. Jouw borduurwerk vind ik fantastisch!
Ik ben niet erg fanatiek deze keer. Als ik een steek al heb uitgeprobeerd dan laat ik het daarbij. In een lade ligt nog een hele stapel TAST-lapjes van de vorige keer (2008) waarmee ik nog eens iets hoop te gaan doen.
Groeten, Miriam

I have a chap who makes them exclusively for me - I sell them on Etsy and on my own website. I have literally sold thousands for him over the years and at the moment I seem to be selling them almost faster than he can make them!! Hope this is of help to you! Lorna
