Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, there’s another wonderful review of Portuguese Whitework today over at Pintangle.
Sharon says she spent the weekend drooling over the book. I hope it didn’t get too soggy!
A little excerpt from the review:
“Everything is clearly explained. The acid test for me is how well an author explains the dreaded bullion knot as many stitchers really fear this stitch. Not only does Yvette Stanton explain how to work them clearly she also trouble shoots problems like lumpy bullions and tapered bullions. I can’t stress enough how well explained everything is.” Sharon Boggon, pintangle.com
So head on over to Pintangle and read the whole review for yourself. Sharon also likes the sampler project – it seems to be a bit of a favourite with people!
I am still plugging away on the tax stuff here. As it has to go off to my tax-man this morning, I’m looking forward to being free of it this afternoon!

Yvette,
I just read the review Sharon wrote on your new book, very high praise indeed. I then read Mary Corbet’s post, we will be working on Luzine Happel’s project. I must say after reading Sharon’s review and now seeing your lovely work, I am a bit intimidated. I am new to this type of needlework and I look forward to learning from Luzine and from you.

Hi Deb,
No need to feel intimidated by me… I’ve never done any schwalm embroidery either, otherwise I wouldn’t have been eligible for helping Luzine! I’m so looking forward to doing her project as I think schwalm is absolutely gorgeous embroidery! Good luck with your embroidery for Luzine. I’m sure you’ll do well, and all the feedback you have for Luzine will be very valuable to her.
Best wishes,
Yvette
