It’s what you’ve all been waiting for: “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” is now available for pre-publication ordering. This means that if you order now, when our shipment arrives in July, we’ll send your copy to you as soon as it arrives! If the shipment arrives earlier, we’ll send your copy earlier!
What will I be getting in “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”?
Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada by Yvette Stanton introduces you to Punt ‘e Nù, a style of whitework from Teulada in Sardinia, Italy. Punt ‘e Nù is a counted embroidery that uses a simple knotted stitch to create geometric designs.
The book is 104 pages, with 11 beautiful projects. The projects include small projects such as a pendant with an embroidered insert, a biscornu, and a petite doily which is an excellent introduction to all the techniques used in Punt ‘e Nù. For those who prefer larger projects, there is a cushion, a tablecloth, a table runner, and even a dress with an embroidered border at the hem (the dress pattern is included). There are 2 pattern sheets with full size patterns for the embroideries, and a multi-size pattern for the dress.
The stitch and technique instructions are of the same high standard you’ve come to expect from my books, with written step-by-step instructions accompanied by clear diagrams to illustrate what you should be doing.
