Dear Trish,
Louise Grimbeek and I were in your class at Ighali in 2014. Louise bought your zentangle bird and needs some help in embroidering it. I wonder if you have put out a DVD on whitework as I would like to give her something like that for her birthday. Otherwise I will order another of your needle painting kits. I wonder if you could suggest one as she is very proficient in embroidery. Are you teaching at Ighali this year? Regards Sandra Kloppers

Thank you for the information about the kinds of stitches. I know that somewhere in my house I have a book with all the kinds of stitches in it. I just can’t find it. I have been embroidering since I was a teen, and I am now 68. I will get the one you recommend if I can’t find mine. It is crazy how I can forget these stitches. But I did look up the split stitch on the computer and found out how to do it. Thanks again. Sandra

Do you have a basic book about the kinds of stitches you use such as the split stitch, or may I find this online or in a very basic embroidery book? Sandra

Hello Sandra. All my books include a stitch glossary with the stitches needed for needle painting such as split, French knots etc. If you want a good book on all the stitch techniques you could get the A-Z of Embroidery stitches by Country Bumpkin Publications. Trish

Hi Sandra sorry you are not able to access the classes page – perhaps you can try again here: http://trishburr.co.za/content/product?page=1
I run correspondence classes about every 6 months – the last one was June – Dec 2011 and the next one will probably be in 2012. I am not sure exactly when registration will open because I am away teaching overseas the first 3 months of 2012 so it will probably be June next year. I will post information on it about 3 months in advance. Best wishes. Trish
