In all this talk of respect for others’ work and not breaching copyright, there is an elephant in the room. Maybe you’ve noticed it. Maybe you haven’t. I certainly have. You may have been thinking, and I have certainly heard this in my mind from silent accusers: “Yvette, isn’t your work derivative? Don’t you base […] Today’s White Threads FlossTube video is a Hardanger kloster block tutorial. Hardanger kloster block are the satin stitch building block on which Hardanger embroidery is built. They need to be precisely placed and precisely stitched so that everything else can be put in the right place and worked perfectly as well. With this video from […] Continuing on from my previous posts about Pinterest and copyright, you may have been thinking, “Well, what if I take a photo of the embroidery I’ve just completed, and it wasn’t my design? Is that ok?” I’m not a lawyer. My advice therefore is as someone who wants to respect others and give credit where […] Despite my coming down on Pinterest rather hard yesterday for their perceived lack of interest in upholding copyright, I actually find Pinterest to be a useful tool.

There is […] In today’s video I share some very precious holiday memories with you. While we were in Sardinia, for me to research my book, “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”, we were fortunate to spend some time with some lovely Sardinian ladies who showed us some traditional costumes from Desulo, in Sardinia. I have heaps of photos of gorgeous […] A little pep talk from Auntie Vetty today, which came about because I needed the answer to how a particular combination of stitches worked. I spent hours yesterday trying many different variations of stitches, spacing etc until mine matched the photo of the historical piece I was trying to match. —- If I’ve never done […] Today we take a close look at a fine whitework handkerchief that was amongst the textiles from my Great Auntie Gen. It is simply exquisite embroidery worked in soft non-mercerised cotton thread on cotton fabric, with an insertion of lace in the centre. If you are reading this in an email, you can find […] In 2008, as I was recovering from serious illness, I worked an Elizabethan project with lots of plaited braid stitch on it. I learnt so much about the stitch from doing this, and was able to write comprehensive step-by-step instructions for my stitch dictionaries because of it.
