Yesterday I introduced the idea of a smartphone app based on my two books The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. I also put it on my personal Facebook page (to which anyone can subscribe to my public updates), and my Vetty Creations Facebook page. Because of this, I’ve had feedback streaming in [...]

One afternoon a couple of months ago, I was sitting in traffic in the car, listening to the radio. For some reason I suddenly had a flash of brilliance: why not make my stitch dictionaries into apps for smartphones? I don’t even know that they were talking about apps on the radio. I don’t think [...] Mary Corbet, from Needle’nThread has done it again – a glowing review of my latest book, Portuguese Whitework! Her reviews are so terribly thorough that probably all your questions will have been answered in one go! Some excerpts from Mary’s review: Well, here it is! Yvette Stanton’s new hand embroidery book, Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery [...] I have just finished adding the Portuguese Whitework supplies to the Vetty Creations site. You can now get all you need to explore Portuguese Whitework, in one place! If you’re wanting to get started, I suggest you’ll need the following: A copy of Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães A fat eighth of Graziano [...] This is my favourite project (and favourite image!) from Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães.

The book really and truly exists now! We just have to be patient for the rest of them to arrive at their destinations so that you can have your very own copy! Don’t forget that you can pre-order your [...] A few weeks ago I tantalisingly dropped it into one of my posts that I had been invited to teach on a needlework cruise early next year.

From February 10th next year, I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick Embroidery on a cruise [...] Because of all the effort that I put into creating my video preview of “Portuguese Whitework”, I’m going to wave it under your noses yet again and embed it here today. I hope you’ll indulge me! Please share the video with your friends – its a great way to introduce the delights of Portuguese [...] Well, I really wasn’t planning on putting this up on the blog just yet. After all, its still way more than six months until the book will be released. But just yesterday I found a black and white picture of it on someone else’s blog. I can’t say I was pleased. However, I can’t withhold [...] I don’t have much of my own to say today, so I’m directing you to a place where I go to drool and wish. If I had all the time in the world, I’d learn temari. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can fit much more into my life at the moment, so temari for me [...] |
