I love hand stitching, and as you know, I do a great deal of it in my work.

I am a fan of Julia Caprara as well, in fact, I studied with Opus, the UK school founded by her and her husband Alex. I spoke with Julia on the phone many times, but sadly, never met her. <br /><br />She was going to come to Canada to teach, and invited me to come, but she didn't manage to do that. <br /><br />One thing she said to me on the phone was..."you love hand stitching? So do I. Here is a tip...change your thread colour every time that your needle runs out." <br /><br />I don't do that all the time...but I still remember Julia's advice. Sometimes, I change the thickness of the thread, but not the colour.<br /><br />Enjoy hand embroidery. It is like your insides are out there for us all to touch. It's powerful.<br /><br />xxJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-79156467853895803152012-08-08T05:09:39.311-04:002012-08-08T05:09:39.311-04:00Jan Beaney, a good friend of Julia's published...Jan Beaney, a good friend of Julia's published a book in 1985, called Stitches, a New Approach. It is the UK reference for textured stitching. To buy, it is very expensive as it is rare - a friendly embroiderer may have a copy.<br /><br />Like the new stitching.Chrissenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-63929730549266902532012-08-07T17:54:45.506-04:002012-08-07T17:54:45.506-04:00Cool!Cool!Lisa Flowers Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255748017497273887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-45948316000242202722012-08-06T22:44:01.942-04:002012-08-06T22:44:01.942-04:00I can see why this Goddess cloth of Julia's se...I can see why this Goddess cloth of Julia's sent you to your embroidery bag.
