If you haven’t already visited our Facebook page, perhaps you should. Yesterday I asked if anyone would like to share any photos of their embroideries done from my designs. I thought that we might be able to inspire each other!
Immediately, Jeanine in Canada (of Italian Needlework fame) emailed me two photos. One was of a Mountmellick project from “Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature”, and the other was a hardanger doily, called “Olena” from an old edition of “Finelines” magazine. They were both beautiful!I do have other photos that people have sent to me over the years, but I am not really willing to put them on Facebook or Pinterest without permission. So if I already have something of yours and you’re happy for me to put it on the Vetty Creations Facebook page or my new Pinterest board (which has precisely nothing on it yet!), then please let me know.
So if you would like to share the love, and let others see the beautiful embroideries you have created using my designs, then please send me your photos. I will properly credit them, so that everyone knows that you were the embroiderer. Credit should be given where credit is due!

White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.

Last year I gave a Mountmellick class and one lady choose a project from your book. I’ll ask her if she would like to show it on your Pinterest board.
I’m happy to tell you that after one year of selling your Mountmellick book, I sold 35 of them. It is so well done that the French women managed to understand how to make the stitches just at looking at the drawing. And for the project, the use of number of each motif of the design help a lot.
Thank you for all your beautiful and very well made work.
Oh Anne! That is wonderful. Such lovely feedback to have, and I am so glad that you’ve had such success with it, even though it is not in your mother tongue. Thank you so much for letting me know – you’ve made my day!
Thanks Yvette yours are still the best picot instructions around!
