In response to yesterday’s copyright post: Thank you for the lively discussion. This is my page and I expect a certain level of behaviour here. I ask that you be kind and respectful. I retain the right to shut down discussion when needed, like if I have way too much to do to monitor […] A long time ago I played around with Hardanger using an organza or chiffon overlay. This is a bag I made using the technique. I have always loved how it turned out. When you’re stitching through a sheer overlay on evenweave fabric, let’s just say it’s *difficult*. It’s really slow, because when you just […] When I announce classes that I’ve been accepted to teach at conferences, conventions and various other venues, nothing is certain about those classes. Being selected does not mean the classes will go ahead. If they don’t fill, I don’t go. No-one will pay my way to teach a class that doesn’t have enough enrolments […] It looks like I’ll be doing a teaching trip to Tasmania and Victoria next year, in April-May. I’ve had a few enquiries from people in the Gippsland region of Victoria in the past little while. There doesn’t seem to be an embroiderers guild group in that region, so there’s no point in me approaching them. […] A common question that I get is, “Which of your books do you recommend for a beginner?” That depends on so many things… How much of a beginner are you? Are you a complete beginner to embroidery, or are you a beginner to the styles of embroidery that I do? Have you done any […] You’ve probably gathered that I’ve been feeling sorry for myself about my World Needlework Convention classes not going ahead. I wanted to teach at it. I wanted to be part of it. Whilst buried in the all-consuming process of writing my book, I helped promote the event and my classes. People assumed that my […] In case you’re new here, I thought I would introduce myself. I’m Yvette Stanton. I live in a small country town, about five hours north of Sydney, Australia. I’m passionate about embroidery, particularly whitework. My twin sister, Prue, and I were always creative, and when I was in high school I really began to […] I visited my off-site storage for my books yesterday. I saw a carton sitting by itself and wondered what it was. It was next to the Frisian stacks, so I assumed it was one of them. Imagine my surprise to find it was a whole box of “Early-Style Hardanger” which I thought I was completely […] What’s the most important thing you’ve done or that has happened to you in terms of your embroidery? I have one of each. The most important thing I have ever done in terms of my embroidery was to send out a press release to Australian publishers of craft books, when I won the Nordic Needle […] Many years ago, an organiser of a yearly needlework teaching event said to me, “We can’t sell whitework classes.” Historically, they hadn’t had much success in getting people to choose whitework classes from amongst their class selections. This has always interested me. I’ve always wondered why. I’ve wondered whether whitework is seen as the […] |
