Before I hop in the car to head off to Singleton for a lovely weekend of Mountmellick embroidery classes, I just wanted to make sure that you’ve seen Mary Corbet’s review on Needle’n Thread of “Early-Style Hardanger”.
If you’re familiar with Mary’s book reviews, you know how thorough they are, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Lots of photos of the book and lots of text pointing out all the things she loves about the book.
Mary has said some very nice things about the book, summed up here:
“In a Nutshell
If you love whitework, if you love counted whitework techniques, if you love Hardanger, if you love regional styles of embroidery, if you love linen, if you just love good instructional books – you’ll love this book! And you’ll want it in your needlework library!”
But don’t take my word for it, go and read her whole review!
I have asked Mary to change one thing, and it is her prerogative if she does or not: in the last bit about where you can get the book, I’ve asked her to mention that it should be available in most good needlework stores, and if they don’t have it, they should be able to get it for you. I think it is really important that we support not only needlework authors, but needlework shops. If we don’t, there won’t be any left for us to enjoy.
So for those of you who don’t have a local needlework store, you can purchase your copy here from me at Vetty Creations. I’m happy to post worldwide.
Thank you Mary for your kind words and wonderful review.
