As I regularly do, I was visiting Amazon yesterday to have a look to see if anyone had written new reviews of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Umm… yes… they had. Many of them…! As a left-hander myself, I was very interested to see if this book would improve the constant struggle with learning and implementing [...] Another review of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion for you today. This one is from Mary Hickmott’s New Stitches. I received my copy of this a while ago, and just yesterday found it again at the bottom of a pile of books, so now I can share it with you. From the review in the May [...] “Embroidery in Britain from 1200-1750″ is a book that I keep coming back to. I love soaking up the visual delights found in it. This book is a visual survey of some of the delights of the V&A’s textile collection. It includes a couple of essays, then a listing of the plates with sizes and [...] The Dnieper River is the fourth longest river in Europe, and flows from Russia, through Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. One of my customers recently wrote to me about a wonderful cruise that he and his mother had taken together on the Dnieper River and Black Sea. His 86 year-old mother explored the [...] Today I have a book review for you of “Historical Fashion in Detail: The 17th and 18th Centuries” by Avril Hart and Susan North. This is an older edition of a book that is now entitled “Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Fashion in detail”. As I have not seen the new edition to see whether it [...] If you’re into needlepoint then you’ve probably already read this review. That’s because Nuts about Needlepoint is the blog to follow if you’re a needlepointer. It also happens that its author, Janet M. Perry, is left-handed. She kindly agreed to review my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Here’s some of what Janet had to say: [...] I would like to share a book with you that I keep coming back to, time after time. “How to Bead: French Embroidery Beading” by Maisie Jarratt. Before writing this, I headed over to Amazon to see if they had any reviews. Yes, they do, and some of the reviewers did NOT like this book. [...] I went along to my local craft, knitting, quilting and needlework shop yesterday. I am very fortunate because I can walk only 15 minutes from my home and be there. I realise that this will make many of you jealous! I was wanting to look at fabrics to use for my samplers. I knew that [...] A new review for “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” has appeared on the Country Bumpkin website and in the latest edition of Inspirations magazine. Here is an excerpt: Every time a new embroidery book is published, a huge collective sigh of disappointment emerges from that most neglected group of embroiderers; the left-handers. This book should put [...] 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 [...] |
