The workshop will be held over 4 consecutive Saturday afternoons in June 2026 from 2pm to 6pm Qld time.

It's taken me a while but I have (at last) added an upcoming online events page. These are the confirmed workshops and there are quite a few in 'negotiation'. As soon as the details are finalised, they will be posted on the page and I'll make an announcement here. So, go to https://www.hazelblomkamp.com/home/events/ to see what is confirmed for now. In some instances you might have to have guild membership but other than that, it doesn't matter where you are in the world, you could take part if there's a place for you.

Some of you may recall that in 2018 the Allthreads community was invited and took part in the creating of an embroidery panel that is now one of the 87 panels in The Red Dress - a project conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, and which unites embroiderers from 51 countries.

Plans are afoot to bring The Red Dress to Australia in 2026 for exclusive display at the Museum of Brisbane and the Warwick Art Gallery and for Kirstie to host some public events. A Go Fund Me page has been set up to raise the funds to make this happen.

It is exciting to think that the embroidery community in Australia may soon have the opportunity to see the Red Dress on display!

From little things big things grow! This was the case with our contribution to The Red Dress and hopefully will be for donations to ensure it comes to Australia! Every little bit of your generosity will help!

Thank you, Kerryn
