Go to the the gallery pages and the shop pages.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you dye your linen before or after stitching?<\/strong><br \/>\nThink twice! What do you expect?<br \/>\n<strong>Where do you find the material you use?<\/strong><br \/>\nI buy material everywhere: shops all-over the world and on the internet. Sometimes people give me leftover textiles or threads.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you have any suggestions on how to make machine stitching look just as good as hand stitching?<\/strong><br \/>\nSorry, I cannot help you. Please contact an artist who does the kind of machine stitching you are looking for.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you think location has an effect on one\u2019s career?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, I doubt it. There is internet and travelling is easy. Most important is the quality of the work and the effort one put in one\u2019s PR.<br \/>\n<strong>How do you advertise your work?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am not sure I understand this question right.<br \/>\nI try to use as many opportunities as I can. It is a lot of work and investment!<br \/>\n<strong>What is your reason for having a website?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have no specific plans with the website. The main goal is to be visible on the Internet and to inform you.<br \/>\n<strong>What virtues would you say one needs to get recognized within the industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nI do not know. I advise you ask this question to industries.<br \/>\n<strong>How old were you when you made that work (referring to one of my cat drawings )?<\/strong><br \/>\nI made that work when I was 45 years old.<br \/>\n<strong>How do you manage to keep your cat out of your thread box?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou cannot manage a cat so you have to manage your thread box.<br \/>\n<strong>On a sunny Greek island a lady saw me stitching:<br \/>\n&#8220;O, so\u00a0 n n i i c c e e ! !&#8221;, she screamed. &#8220;Are you making this for your baby?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nI just looked up to see who was talking<br \/>\n<strong>She noticed my grey hair: &#8220;for your grandchild?&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, not really<br \/>\n<strong>Is it for the table?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, it is to framed and hung on the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tilleke Schwarz borduurt.
