I’m Having a Ally Pally Break This Year
Hello Everyone,
I just thought I had better bring you up to date and let some of you know that I will not be with you this year at The Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace.
Unfortunately, we have lost my mum, who was a very large part of our lives and who had been unwell last year when I was at the show. We’re all going in the right direction now and I am now fully back to my teaching and traveling all over to teach my thing. The show at Alexandra Palace needs everything I have and weeks and weeks of preparation so I have decided to take a break and sit back this year and concentrate on some of the many new and interesting ideas I have in my head, ready for my return.
I’m not really being idle.
Look out for Just Hands TV, where I have been doing some filming on an Introduction to Goldwork with three projects for you to watch and then try your hand at.
I’m also working on my website (with help).
The website and online shop are, as we speak being updated so if you go to the show looking to buy a new design to stitch. Don’t fret! You will be able to order it online along with a few other kits and items that might take your fancy.
I hope to go to the show as a visitor. This will be a real luxury as I haven’t done this for many years.
I hope you all have a fab time at the show and if we bump into each other, stop me for a quick catch up!
Happy Stitching!
See you all soon,
Kathleen

Just worked out this lovely bag. Now I have a good prototype I am away with ideas buzzing through my head.
Needle Lace Leaves by Machine
The lovely ladies in my machine embroidery class have all worked so hard today learning how to machine needle laced leaves on water soluble film.
Take a look they’re great!
Goldwork Seahorses
Well, that’s the design drawn. All I need to do now is work them for my upcoming gold work class at Tudor Rose Patchwork.
Machine Embroidery Trees
This is the first class of the year for my machine embroidery class, so to loosen them up and to get them moving freely we made machine embroidered trees in rayon thread using the sewing machine. Next month we will be attempting machine made needle lace.
