Ladybank Classes...

...about to start!

Here at Off the Rails Arthouse, Ladybank

Couldn't resist taking this photo of the cute little shed at the bottom of the garden, well, next to the gate really. You can just see where the community garden is to be laid out in the background.

 

Back to business...

My embroidery class will be starting on Tuesday 14th May 2013. I will be running two classes one in the morning and one in the evening. More info later.

 

I've also set up a Facebook page which I'll add here when I can work it out!

Bye for now!

Ladybank...in full swing!

Had a great day at Ladybank today, lots of great company, visitors and chat... well rather a lot of chatting I have to say. Mostly about embroidery which is right up my street with lots of interest in my new classes at the Arthouse, great!

Thanks to 'The Busy Thistle' who kindly asked permission to take a photo of my cushion. you'll find it on her blog here,. She's also got some great views of the Scottish mountains, I came over all Harry Potter on a few of them! :o))

I'll post some photos tomorrow,
Bye for now.

Ladybank, Fife - classes

Hi everyone, back at last!

 

Great news ...I will be starting 'stitch 'n' craft' classes at Off The Rails Arthouse in Ladybank, just next to the station on Tuesday 14th May 2013. We'll be exploring basic embroidery stitches to start with.

 The Arthouse will be open this weekend Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th and Monday 6th May and I will be there in the afternoons on Saturday and Sunday then all day on the Monday. I'll be taking names for my two classes which will be running on Tuesdays from 9.30am to 11.30am and from 7pm to 9pm.  

 

I will be adding more exciting news very soon...watch this space... I also hope to have a Facebook page up and running next week sometime

All a bit frantic at the moment but great fun.

Back later.

I was having difficulty uploading my photos for some reason but think I may be able to upload from Flickr for the time being

Exhibition St Andrews Museum

Hi,
Just to let you know that the Embroiderers' Guild, Dundee Branch Exhibition will be opening on Saturday 1st December 2012.
It runs from 1/12/12 to 6/1/13 and is open Daily from 10.30am to 4pm with free admission, they also have a cafe.
There will be a few workshops with some spaces still available . I'm teaching the canvas class with a friend. You can book a place on 01334 659339 . It would make a great day out.

Sadly I seem to be out of space and cannot upload my photos (will investigate this) but just to say that they chose an image of my work for the poster which I'm delighted about. You can see the image here.
There will be some of the members sitting stitching for some of the time during the period of the exhibition.
NB The Museum will be closed for Christmas and New Year. Probably best to give them a ring if you intend visiting around that time.

If you can make it to St Andrews then I hope you enjoy your visit to the exhibition.

PS. The Barrack Street Book which belongs to Dundee Museum and was made by some of the members will be on show as well. The book just happens to be featured in the current issue of Stitch Magazine (Stitch with the Embroiderers' Guild). My page is the one with the tomato puree Astrolabe!

:o)
UPDATE - I've uploaded a few pictures onto my Flickr page

New cards!

 Finally got some of my work made into printed cards. Four designs so far and I am really pleased with the results. They are currently on sale at Funky Scottish in Pittenweem but I hope to have them for sale in other places soon. Online in my Etsy shop they will be sold as a pack of four. I hope to start adding to the designs as well as having some Christmas cards printed fairly soon.

I'll post more info about my cards soon.

Byeee!

Pittenweem Arts Festival...

These are my new necklaces that I've been making for the festival this year. At the moment I only have 10. I may not make any more until I see how they go. It's always a hit or a miss until you test out the new designs. I've used my usual technique of layering fabrics then working lots of free machining over the top. I have some other images on my Flickr page.

The Pittenweem Arts Festival

is on from 

Saturday the 28th July until Sunday the 5th August 2012

My work will be at Funky Scottish, High Street, Pittenweem.
