Yesterday I opened a very exciting parcel containing the advance copies of Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway!
I’m really happy with the way the book has turned out. I hope you will love it too.
The full Australian and New Zealand shipment should depart from the printers in the next day or so, arriving here in mid June. The rest of the world will have a joint Vetty Creations and Search Press publication. This edition will be available in September.
If you’re a reader wanting to purchase the book, you should be able to get it from your favourite needlework store. And of course you can also purchase it from Vetty Creations. I endeavour to sign all books that I send out to customers from the Vetty Creations office, though I don’t guarantee this, as sometimes it’s just too busy to do so!
If you’re a shop owner outside of Australia and New Zealand, please contact Search Press in the UK or USA to order copies for your shop. If you’re a shop owner in Australia or New Zealand, you will be able to get the book through the normal channels (Vetty Creations, Craft Book Wholesalers, David Bateman).
In time, I will be putting supplies kits for the projects up on my website. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy creating them.
I don’t know what size you imagine my publishing house, Vetty Creations, is. Perhaps you think it’s a large publishing house with many employees. Actually, it’s just me. Just me. So when you think of the books I publish, remember that in buying them, you’re supporting me and my family. You’re helping my daughters with their education. You’re helping me pay my bills. Anything you can do to help support my small business (buying my books, writing great reviews, commenting on my blog and FB pages, telling others about my books) please know that I really appreciate it.
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.

It looks very fine!
I recommend your stitch dictionary whenever my opinion is sought – I hope I’ve got you a few more sales…!
Thank you Rachel! I REALLY appreciate it!
I’m so excited! You do such wonderful books. This one will be added to my collection as well.
Thank you Jodi! That’s lovely to hear!
