Back in July at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair my book “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” was awarded Craft Book of the Year in the 2014 Australian Craft Industry Awards.
Yesterday I finally obtained a copy of the photograph that was taken of me receiving my award, and permission to share it!
To see for yourself why it won Craft Book of the Year, you can purchase your copy of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery from your local needlework shop or right here from Vetty Creations.
If you’re wondering what the wall behind us actually says, the slogan for the craft fair was “Some things you just make time for”. And yes, many of us do make time for our embroidery, because we know how good it is for us!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Congratulations. Have bought the book. I am only a beginner. Have done some cross stitch. And just starting with Hardanger. Learnt about you through Mary Corbet. Blog. So now I know two amazing. Embroiderers through reading your blogs
Thanks Irena! Whenever you’re working on anything from my books, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. 🙂
