Sorry for my silence lately. I have been rather snowed under with preparation for classes of all kinds (ones I am teaching and ones I am learning from!) and travel. I have to start preparing for the upcoming Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair too, because that is fast bearing down upon me! When you wake […] Once upon a time I taught a class in merezhka at Springwood, here in NSW. We did a small panel of merezhka as an introduction to the style. There were many lovely ladies in that class, but there was one student who *really* took to merezhka. Big Time. Sharron absolutely loved the embroidery style […] At the craft show I ran a competition, where by filling out an entry form you could go in the draw to win your choice of three of my books, each one autographed. The questions on the entry forms included “What would you like Yvette to write a book on?” and “what types of embroidery […] The 2012 Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair is over for another year, and for me it was a raging success. My sales were beyond what I had hoped for, and I had many enquiries about classes from students, shops and guild groups. My book “Portuguese Whitework” was extremely popular, with many having seen it in […] I had a wonderful day at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair yesterday.

My stand is quite small (2m x 2m) so it doesn’t take up that much room! It means I can get an idea of how all the stock will fit in, how the arrangement of furniture will work, and make all the […] I haven’t actually got anything much to say! I’ve been busy over the last few days getting ready for the craft show. I spent yesterday cutting fat quarters and making maxi skeins of Mountmellick thread. Today will be more of the same, and probably going off to the office supplies shop to get some more […] Thank you to all who have already signed up for The Embroiderer’s Companion Stitch Dictionary waitlist. There’s been a great response already, which is really encouraging. Please don’t forget to tell your friends about it so that they can also sign up! For me, this week will be all about getting ready for next week’s […] As with the last two years, this year I will be again exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour in June. This time I will not be sharing, but will have my own stand just for Vetty Creations. I would actually love to be sharing again, because I have really enjoyed […] |
