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 […] I found yet another review the other day, for my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. JennyFlowerBlue is another right-handed embroiderer who wishes she was left-handed! I wish I was left-handed, no really I do. This book; ‘The left handed embroiderer’s companion’ by Yvette Stanton is a BRILLIANT stitch dictionary. The illustrations are crystal […] Well, you’re the first to know it: “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary” is underway. I heard the jealous cries of the right-handers who want their own version of my stitch dictionary. I also heard the happy ravings (and I mean that in the nicest possible way!) of the left-handers who love theirs […] I’ve never heard of left-handed envy, but it seems it now exists. Karen Platt, who does a great job of reviewing a lot of different embroidery books, had this to say about my left-handed book, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: This is the first time in my life I have wanted to be left-handed. Unfortunately, I’m […] |
