Royal School of Needlework book of the month

I just found out that “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” has been named Book of the Month by the Royal School of Needlework’s shop! Yay!

I’m also after a copy of Mary Hickmott’s New Stitches magazine which apparently has reviewed the book in the latest issue. I emailed New Stitches, and they’re very kindly sending me a copy. What lovely people!

I managed to get “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” off to the printer yesterday. It will probably be back here in 2 1/2 to 3 months time. So the August release is looking good. Of course, if I have it early, it will go out early too!

Now I can breathe for a day or two, then get onto fixing or burying my desktop computer.

    What an honor, Yvette. And well-deserved, too. You may be amused to know that my copy of the LH Embroiderer’s Companion recently “flew” roundtrip from Europe to the U.S. with me for a family visit. I’m sure that, to date, mine is the most well-travelled copy of your book!

    My husband thought that my copy may have been in competition with yours, as it went with us to Ethiopia. But then I realised that I donated mine to the school library, and it remains there in Africa. So yes, yours still holds the title for “most well-travelled copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”! Well done! 😉
