more book reviews

Today I have two more reviews for you, both quite in depth.

First, we have an excerpt from a review by Nicola Parkman from Hands Across the Sea Samplers:

I have been eagerly awaiting delivery of Yvette Stanton’s new book “Early Style Hardanger” since its publication was announced, and I have not been disappointed. This is a must have book for a needleworker’s library. Normally I dip into books but I have been totally enthralled from the 1st to the 160th page, all of which are packed with over 1500 colour photos and diagrams.

You can read the rest on Nicola’s blog.

Next we have one from Sue of Tortoise Loft:

I’ve been waiting eagerly for Yvette Stanton’s new book Early Style Hardanger since I first read about it as a work in progress, on her blog, White Threads. It sounded right up my street: firmly focused on the traditional Norwegian whitework technique rather than any modern interpretations.
I’m delighted to say that the book lives up to my expectations. It’s a substantial paperback: neat layout, enticing photographs, clear typography, copious step-by-step diagrams and charts. If I had to sum up the contents in one word, it would be ‘thorough’ – it’s one of the most in-depth single-subject embroidery books that I have seen.

You can read the rest on Sue’s blog.

Thank you to Nicola and Sue for your very generous reviews. I appreciate your enthusiasm for “Early-Style Hardanger”!
