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.

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 [...] Today I have been going through the gazillion emails that my colleague received on my behalf while I was away in Ethiopia. There were only about 400 unread emails and probably three times that many that had already been read by her, but not yet by me… In the midst of that though, I found [...] Recently I received the following comment from RM of England about my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: Hello Yvette, Just thought I’d let you know I found your LH Companion at the London Bead Company and bought it. Its wonderful and just looking at the instructions I could follow them straight away. Unless you [...] I love receiving emails from people who say nice things about my books. Who wouldn’t?! They usually make my day! I have a favour to ask. If you love my books – any of them: Elegant Hardanger Embroidery; Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature; Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska; or The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a [...] |
