Mrs. Parkman’s Needlework Academy has been the most wonderful instructional resource! As someone who doesn’t have a local group and cannot attend retreats, I am beyond grateful for your generosity in sharing your time and knowledge. You are a treasure to anyone who works with a needle!!

A lovely dedication to Moira Blackburn, Nicola, and I remember that magazine article about her; I was so inspired by the photos of all her samplers hanging in her home. It was the first time I’d encountered a ‘sampler wall’. Her designs were the first samplers I stitched too. I still have her original catalogues but sadly some I would have loved to have stitched have not been available for many years. Never mind, HATS more than compensates! Congratulations on your latest design. Have a good week.

Oh, Nicola. You are such a tease! I shall now forever wonder about the story behind 7x7=42!!! 🤣 Kudos for being the impetus behind the RSN stitch library correction. The "Useful Work" workshop sounds great!

I’m playing catch up this evening on the online workshop sampler. Thank you so much for these tutorials Nicola. My little stitch journal is filling up with notes and dodgy diagrams now!

Quite interesting how such a simple stitch can be used in such creative ways.

Love that multiplication table sampler! All those lovely colors! And one of these days, I’ll get to see all the colors in your garden! 🪴 ❤ The tent stitch on the diagonal is also called basketweave in needlepoint, I think. All that filling in they have to do, it’s a great stitch! Thank you for these wonderful and very instructional tutorials! ❤️😘

Nicola, your multiplication table sampler is the prettiest one I have ever seen and very special. I am so grateful for your videos and am learning so much.

Thank you Nicola, I love the Gobelin stitch (pronounced Go-beh-lin) which has a very interesting history. It is named after the 17th century French family who had a famous tapestry business and takes their name as it resembles their tapestry. The multiplication sampler is a beautiful design and you must have worked very hard when designing it and it is so nice that you are sharing it with us. Happy stitching. 🪡🧵♥️

I found Bromiley Phelan's obituary online at The Times - it was an interesting read, and re-reading the author's 'bio' on the back flap of The Goodhart Samplers, it's mentioned there she had an embroidery shop too - that would have been a great store to go to I bet! Your Multiplication sampler is beautiful!

Thank you. I found how you hold your needle very interesting. Saving the videos and taking notes as I watch them. Have gone back to the backstitch video several times and they are very helpful.

There are quite a few typos on the RSN Stitch Bank which is disappointing. I was also very discombobulated when watching their shaky videos on How To stitch the stitch unlike the overhead camera tutorials you show and Jean Farish. The few I watched gave me a headache. I think they could have done better.
