Classes

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

As a teacher, I am a big believer that education is never complete.  Even after we leave the formal setting of schools and universities, our education continues, whether it be on the job, doing further courses related to our careers, or learning more about our hobbies, we are all life long learners. I have always… Read More

31 Days of WIPs and UFOs…

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

Oops.  I went quiet last week.  That was rather unintentional.  I was trying to focus on decluttering my home office.  Two weeks ago, you could hardly move in here for all the mess.  Some of it should have been put away properly 3 years ago, other things just built up over the year in 2011.… Read More

Am a tad behind…

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

Whoops, I realised today that I am a tad behind in my WIPs posts.  Sorry about that.  I need to get the camera back out so I can photograph more WIPs and UFOs.  That means that tomorrow, I need to enter the sauna that is my studio!  The show room has a reverse cycle air… Read More

Snow Garden

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

It is the middle of summer here, but over the last week the temperature has really plummeted!  Today has been the warmest all week, but it is still long sleeve weather.  In fact earlier this week, there was even snow fall in the high country.  Now that is cold!  Having grown up on the inland… Read More

Samplers

by Bette_H, in category Samplers, Sewing Basket

I have talked a lot about my love of samplers, and how it started. And through this interest, I have learnt a lot about them over the years either by reading or attending conferences in the United States.  When I see certain Dutch samplers, I am often able to identify where they are from.  Some,… Read More

Dream…

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

So often we look at January to be not just the start of a new year, but also the beginning of all sorts of new things – a new me, a new career, a new home, a new life.  All the talk over the last 10 or 11 days about New Years Resolutions and goals… Read More

Sewing Smalls

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

I love sewing smalls.  Especially if I have made them.  The problem is that it takes as long for me to make a sewing small as it does a large project!  Part of that is probably because I don’t expect it to take long, therefor I do not dedicate the time to it that I… Read More

Samplers

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

Ever since my second visit to the Merkwaardig Sampler exhibition in 1998, I have loved samplers.l  I fell in love with one sampler in particular.  It was done by a young girl who was born without hands.  All the stitching was completed by holding the needle in her toes.  It was so neatly done!  Around… Read More
