The instructions […] Today Mary Corbet of Needle’nThread has posted a very comprehensive review of “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”. If you’re familiar with Mary’s reviews, you’ll know that she always she points out all the things she loves about the book, with accompanying photographs. In many ways she says it better than me: she’s independent and unbiased, […] Last week I received a thoughtful and detailed review of “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery” from Robert. Here’s what he had to say: The reasons I love your book: You bring a new cultural experience to the rest of us. Your sharing of the techniques and patterns helps me appreciate the region and encourages me to learn […] Sharon B of Pintangle has posted what I think is the very first online review of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery. You might like to pop on over to Pintangle to read what she has to say. 🙂 http://pintangle.com/2014/06/26/sardinian-knotted-embroidery-by-yvette-stanton/ If you’ve never visited Pintangle before, I encourage you to take a look around.
