The day is finally here! I really do apologise for being so infuriating this week, but hopefully you’ve enjoyed at least some of the anticipation and excitement!
Without further ado, here’s my announcement video. If you’re reading this post as an email, you can view the video using the following link: https://youtu.be/EozuvKkIpek
“Early-Style Hardanger: Traditional Norwegian Whitework Embroidery” by Yvette Stanton will be released in late 2015. It will feature a range of projects, from small through to large. There will be all the usual step-by-step stitch instructions that you’ve come to expect from me. Also included will be many photos of historical examples, and some of contemporary use of old-style embroidery.
For all those who thought this announcement was going to be that the book’s release was imminent, I do apologise! So why did I announce the book’s title and cover now? Announcing them on Norway’s national day seemed very appropriate, and the day only comes around once a year! It helps to link the embroidery with the culture, and if you know me, you’ll know that I’m quite big on making sure I respect the culture that the embroidery comes from.
Please share the video and the picture below far and wide, and tell all your friends who may be interested! I’d love it if you’d help me get the word out. Stay tuned to White Threads for release details and for more information on the book.

Looks like I’d better speed up and finish some of them!!!!!

Thank you for your enthusiasm, Julie! 🙂
This looks beautiful! I like how intricate some of the stitches seem to be. What a treat to look forward to! 🙂
That’s lovely encouragement, thank you Kathryn.
Well, this IS exciting, Yvette! I also have only done a little practicing from your first book, but no completed projects. Nevertheless, this looks really beautiful too, and it will be interesting to learn the difference!
Thank you for your enthusiasm, Monica!
Can you reveIl a date the new book will be available in the US, Yvette? My friend needs birthday suggestions and I was hoping I could suggest she give me the newest of your books. My friend needs to mail end of October, beginning of November? Pretty please 🙂
Hi Lilian, while I’d love to say it will be available by then, I know for sure that that will be a bit early. But it is coming… 🙂
