Guess what I found at #imc on the #boydellandbrewer stand. Apparently, it’s going like hot cakes, which is wonderful news. If you don’t have a copy yet (why not? 😉) you can order it direct. Use BB404 for 50% off & free shipping. Here’s the link: boydellandbrewer.com/9781837650132/…

At #IMC on Monday I moderated this session for Tina Anderlini; sponsored by #DISTAFF Images of speakers, with permission, and their opening or other relevant slide in following montage. Apologies for the angle, I was sat at the end of the row and couldn’t get square on photos

Remember that very hot Wednesday (in the UK). I was in London for the iona conference where I presented my very embryonic ideas about Sámi & Viking interaction expressed through decorative metalwork. Really enjoyed researching this, hoping to do more & write it up. Wish me luck

And we’re back! 😃 Yes, after a few months focussing on other things I’m back YouTubing about the Bayeux Tapestry re-creation project. To get us back into the zone this is a slow stitch with some chatting. Here’s the link: m.youtube.com/watch?v=m-PVOc… Enjoy

Well this is exciting. My first online embroidery course for the @royalneedlework is now live on their website. Of course, it’s inspired by the Bayeux tapestry A bird from the upper border. You can check it all out at: royal-needlework.org.uk/product/onl242…

Yesterday I started teaching the @royalneedlework Bayeux Tapestry bird class. Had a lovely 2hr session kicking off with outlines before moving onto some of the laid & couched (Bayeux stitch) filling. Here’s to our next & final session next Monday!

Can anyone help? I need a copy of this bk asap (as always). I know it’s in the Brit’ Lib’, London, & at Leeds Uni but getting there/access is difficult. I’ve had no luck finding one to buy either. Does anyone know of an online copy or where I could buy one? Thanks in advance

Yes, I’ve finally got another video out on YouTube. This one has a bit of a story attached to it because it should have come out on August. Check out the description and text in the video for why it didn’t. Here’s the link: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcrv5N… Enjoy
