Book review – Smøyg: Pattern Darning From Norway

This morning my daughter and I head to New Zealand for the ANZEG National Conference. I’ll be teaching two classes and giving a lecture. Vetty Creations will have a stand in the merchants mall. I’ll have all the projects from “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” on display, as well as a selection of my products for sale.

Smøyg Pattern Darning from Norway has arrived!While waiting in the airport for our flight I’ve had the chance to read the first review of my new book, with the review written by Jessica Grimm, a very talented, Royal School of Needlework trained embroiderer and embroidery designer.

You can read her review at her blog. Thanks Jessica, for the wonderful things you say about “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”! I know you’re already addicted because you keep making new things from and inspired by the book!

    I am glad you liked the review, Yvette! And I am indeed addicted :). Unfortunately, ‘real work’ is calling now. I hope you have a lovely time in New Zealand.
