Dove’s eye stitch is an oldie but a goodie. It is a traditional Hardanger stitch that has remained popular because it is such a useful and attractive filling stitch. However, many people don’t realise they’re not working them correctly, and I’ve even seen books that instruct using an incorrect method. (By this I don’t […] Today’s stitch from Hardanger Filling Stitches is Wrapped bars. For much of my Hardanger career, I have avoided wrapped bars. This is because so often they look wonky and dreadful. I dislike the way they can distort the fabric and don’t sit “just so”. Other people might be ok with that, but it doesn’t […] Diamond filling was a new (to me) stitch that I learned while writing my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches. It is not a well-known stitch, but I think it is really lovely. It isn’t difficult to stitch, though there are quite a few steps to follow. I find that this is a stitch where […] The next stitch I’m featuring from my forthcoming book, “Hardanger Filling Stitches”, is the lacy buttonhole edge. This is an edge that many people want to learn how to do as it is so very pretty! The edge is delicate and actually not very strong on its own, so my instructions teach you how […] Today I’m starting a new series showing you some of the stitches that are included in my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches.

If you haven’t already, you can pre-order your copy […] Today I am sharing a graphic showing all the stitches in my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches. How many have you never seen before? Which ones are you looking forward to learning? Which ones are you looking forward to mastering, having already tried them before? Please share this post far and wide so that all […] Because my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches, is basically an exhaustive stitch dictionary, there is only one project in it. However, as there’s only one, I had to make it a good one! The Hardanger Filling Stitches sampler is a band sampler featuring as many Hardanger filling stitches as I could fit onto it! […] “Hardanger Filling Stitches: A Step-by-Step Handbook” by Yvette Stanton, is now available for pre-order! The book will be published in mid-late 2023. • 60+ stitches with many variations • A band sampler project to try out most of the stitches • Left- and right-handed step-by-step stitch instructions • 280 pages (it’s a thick, *heavy* book, […] You may know that Hardanger mythbusting is one of my favourite subjects. There are many myths about Hardanger, and I like to promote accurate information, thereby busting as many of those myths as I can.
