I received my copy of Bunad Magazine today, which includes a review of Early-Style Hardanger. A translation of the original Norwegian text is as follows:
“Australian book about Hardanger
When Yvette Stanton researched for her book, she visited the Norwegian Folk Museum and the Hardanger Folk Museum to study old folk costume garments where the technique has been used.
Yvette Stanton is from Australia and the book is published there. It goes without saying that it contains patterns on the technique used in anything but national costumes. I would still recommend it as a technique book because it shows the different stitches in a very informative and easily understandable way, step by step, with plain and clear illustrations. It even has left-handed explanations.
She also shows error correction and how to best avoid problems and errors. It is supplied with 3 large pattern sheets.”
So even Norwegians like it! My thanks for the great review of Early-Style Hardanger go to Heidi Fossnes and the team at Bunad Magazine.
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.

That is praise indeed!
