I’ve been spending some time over the last few days adding “like” buttons to my website (you can see one at the bottom of this post). I haven’t done all the pages yet, because it takes time, but I’m getting there! These buttons mean that you can “like” various pages of the Vetty Creations website [...]

From Jennyflowerblue, an excerpt from her review about The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: These books are exceptionally clear in their directions and stitches are shown worked in all sorts of different ways and in sample to really give inspiration for their use. I am finding this book invaluable in my City and Guilds stitch samples. I [...] As I regularly do, I was visiting Amazon yesterday to have a look to see if anyone had written new reviews of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Umm… yes… they had. Many of them…! As a left-hander myself, I was very interested to see if this book would improve the constant struggle with learning and implementing [...] My husband brought the local newspaper in from the letterbox on Thursday morning. As I ate my breakfast, I paged through it. A little way in, (definitely further than page 3…) I was shocked to turn the page and find myself smiling back at me! A long-lost article about me and my left-handed stitch dictionary [...] Yesterday I had an email conversation with a friend who is left-handed. She has a copy of my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion (and loves it), but she’s about to do some highly technical historical style stitching for which there are no stitch diagrams and instructions in left-handed available. She asked me if mirroring will [...] If you’re into needlepoint then you’ve probably already read this review. That’s because Nuts about Needlepoint is the blog to follow if you’re a needlepointer. It also happens that its author, Janet M. Perry, is left-handed. She kindly agreed to review my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Here’s some of what Janet had to say: [...] I found yet another review the other day, for my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. JennyFlowerBlue is another right-handed embroiderer who wishes she was left-handed! I wish I was left-handed, no really I do. This book; ‘The left handed embroiderer’s companion’ by Yvette Stanton is a BRILLIANT stitch dictionary. The illustrations are crystal [...] I’ve found a way of creating online previews of my books so that you can see a sample of the contents of my books. I have started with The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. It has a sample of pages: there are the front and back covers, the contents page, one surface stitch, a variation of [...] In the interests of finding out whether people want fire that can be nasally inserted (thanks Douglas Adams), I’m wanting to do a little market research. The idea of converting my already popular left-handed stitch dictionary into a right-handed version has been kicking around my head for a very long time. Probably right from the [...] I’ve never heard of left-handed envy, but it seems it now exists. Karen Platt, who does a great job of reviewing a lot of different embroidery books, had this to say about my left-handed book, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: This is the first time in my life I have wanted to be left-handed. Unfortunately, I’m [...] |
