Well, I really wasn’t planning on putting this up on the blog just yet. After all, its still way more than six months until the book will be released. But just yesterday I found a black and white picture of it on someone else’s blog. I can’t say I was pleased. However, I can’t withhold the picture of it from you if others aren’t. Sigh.
So, without further ado, here’s the first COLOUR version of the cover of “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães” by Yvette Stanton (me!) that you will see anywhere on the internet!
'Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães' by Yvette Stanton, due for release in early 2012.

I might just take this opportunity to remind people of copyright laws. You *can’t* just rip a picture off someone else’s blog, website, book, etc and reproduce it on/in your blog, website, book etc. That is breaking the law. If there is a picture that you want to use, you need to ask and gain permission to do so. Otherwise you are breaching copyright laws.
If you have nicked some of my pictures from my (or anyone else’s) website, blog, books etc, you need to have permission to reproduce them. You have two options: either take them down and just have the text, or ask for my permission. Sorry to come down like a ton of bricks, but it is the law and it exists to protect copyright holders’ rights.
If you are one of those who has asked my permission, thank you for your upholding of the law. Usually I do grant permission.

Hi Yvette, so sorry to hear you weren’t the one who had the pleasure of showing the cover first. It often surprises me how quickly things get out and make it around the internet – it shouldn’t, but sometimes it still does. On another note – the cover is beautiful, and very enticing!
Thanks Fiona!
Hi Yvette, Yes, it’s a pain that someone else showed it first but it’s your book and you have it in colour and it’s luscious. It shouts ‘pick me up and buy me!’I wish you all the best of good things with it.
Thanks Suzy! 🙂
Sorry to know about that. But, I agree with Fiona – Gret cover, for a great book! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book. For us, the brazilians, a book about portuguese embroidery is a very important thing! We (as in me and my students) are really eager to see the book.
Obrigada! I hope you all love it!
It is against the law and it is morally wrong! Shame on those that stole your thunder (and your pic) but kudos to you on a beautiful book cover for what promises to be a beautiful book.
If it is any consellation (but I doubt that it is) I saw it here first 🙂
How infuriating. I do wish people would think about the ethics of what they are doing sometimes!
It looks fantastic Yvette! Sorry to hear that you couldn’t show it first. Check out this website for easy copyright infringement searching:

Hi Yvette
I am so thrilled you have bought this book out being Portuguese I love embroidery and crotchering and I could not resist to buy it I wish it would come from one day to another. Although you were not the first to put it on the Internet I saw it on this site and dont even know what the other looked like but this is gorgous I cant wait to start making a table cloth I am just afraid that I will not be able to get the material and threads here in RSA but I will search around until i find it.
Many thanks this is so wonderful I am so excited.
Regards
Maria
