Now that I am back from Beating Around the Bush, the HUGE mailout begins! Today I will start sending out pre-publication orders of Portuguese Whitework. There is a huge pile of orders to go out – thank you to everyone who pre-ordered! – so it will probably take some days to get through them all. […] I had a WONDERFUL time in Adelaide at Beating Around the Bush. Enjoyed the class, and market day, and loved hearing Jenny Adin-Christie last night at the gala dinner. I really enjoyed spending time with the other tutors, socialising and talking shop. I was just a little overawed to meet some of the international […] I’m spending a lot of time at the moment preparing for Beating Around the Bush. I’ve got kits to organise for my class, and stock to prepare for the Market Day. So if I seem a little absent from here over the next week or two, that is why! Today I’ll be organising for the […] I’ve entered my Portuguese Whitework tablecloth in the Sydney Royal Easter Show this year. I dropped it off at the showground a couple of Saturdays ago.

They were so welcoming and so accommodating of my needs. Many took part in organising […] Tomorrow and Wednesday I will have the pleasure of being with the Maitland Embroiderers, teaching a couple of workshops. I spent a couple of days with them last year doing Mountmellick embroidery, and it was a wonderful time. From memory I had one of my Portuguese whitework projects with me, as my current project, and […] This is my favourite project (and favourite image!) from Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. I wanted one really big, really impressive project for the book, and this is it! I started this cloth when I was in Ethiopia back in 2010, so it has special memories attached to it, of our time in […] The advance copies of Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton have arrived! 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 […] When you have a book printed, there is the option of having what are called “Advance copies” sent. This means pretty much what you might think it would mean – some copies are sent in advance of the main shipment. Two copies are the usual quantity. I got an email from my printers last night […] Do you have any questions about Portuguese Whitework in general or about my upcoming book, Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães? Well, this is your chance to ask those questions, and if I know the answer, then I’ll definitely answer it for you. Ask away! […] |
