I’m back from Maitland and had a wonderful time! The two classes that I ran on Portuguese Whitework went really well, and I’m pretty sure the students enjoyed them greatly.
I have never met a group of more attentive hosts. They were so welcoming and so accommodating of my needs. Many took part in organising my visit, ferrying me around, providing me with food, providing me with a place to stay the night, and all of them were so helpful and lovely to be with.
Thank you to all the friendly members of the Maitland Embroiderers’ Group. You’re a lovely bunch of ladies!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Hello Yvette, it was a pleasure to have you back at Maitland Embroiderer’s to teach us Portuguese Embroidery.
It certainly is a beautiful embroidery technique, thank you for been such a patient and attentive tutor and I am glad you enjoyed your time with us.
We are looking forward to your book Portuguese Embroidery, it was wonderful to see your advanced copy. It is a must-have asset for every embroiderer’s library, such wonderful clear stitch illustrations.
I hope you will be able to visit our 25th Anniversary Exhibition September 7th & 8th.

Thanks Sue! 🙂 I’m also thinking we should expect that Bernadette has already finished hers completely?!
Yvete,
que bom que foi bem recebida..
E quando sair o seu livro sobre o Bordado Português de Guimarães, gostaria imenso de o adquirir…
abraços de Maria Filomena
