Merezhka book review

Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska by Yvette Stanton
I’ve just been noodling around on the web and accidentally found a lovely review of my book “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska” on Amazon. Written by a lovely person named Sarah Danks from Springdale PA, it is extremely glowing.

Here’s some of the review:

…this is one of the best-illustrated books I’ve ever seen. All the stitches and all the designs are shown with both an illustration and a photo. I’ve never seen anyone do that before, but I have to say it’s very effective, and makes each stitch quite clear.

She discusses the contents of the book in detail, and finally ends with the following recommendation:

I am very pleased to have this book in my collection and would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in Hardanger or other drawn or pulled work.

You can read the rest of the review here at Amazon. “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska” is available direct from Vetty Creations and all good needlework stores. If they don’t have it, ask them to get it!

And Sarah, if you ever happen to read this, thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
