Portuguese Whitework – book review

Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton

Some excerpts from the review:

Yvette has an insatiable fascination with whitework styles and this, her fifth book, explores the embroidery of the northern Portuguese town of Guimarães.

It’s my sixth book, actually… 😉 But you’re absolutely right in saying that I have an insatiable fascination with whitework!

The stitch diagrams are excellent and show every step in each process in perfect detail, making the book ideal for even the newest embroiderer. Fine points such as turning corners with a stitch and concluding a border are explained in full and leave no questions unanswered.

Thank you, Susan, for your kind words.
