I’ve just added a whole pile more book reviews of my books to the book reviews page on my website. There are many, many new reviews there, and if you’re looking for a new embroidery book, read my book reviews page first! A few samples of the reviews for you: The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: […] I was recently notified that there was an error on the pattern chart for the tablecloth in Portuguese Whitework. On the chart, some of the pink numbers which denote the count of threads are incorrect. Wherever it says 60 threads on the pattern, it should say 72. The written instructions within the book are correct. […] Yesterday I received a message from my US distributor with a link to a Facebook group. In that group a member, Arlene, had posted a photo of the Portuguese Whitework sampler from my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Arlene has done a magnificent job, and I was pleased to congratulate her on her […] This weekend (and Monday and Tuesday) I will be teaching at Berrima Patchwork’s Quilting in the Highlands Retreat at Mittagong. Mittagong is in the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. At this time of year, it is COLD down there. (Well, cold for us, not for people who regularly have snowy winters!) I’m planning to stay […] Today I’m of to Wollongong to teach Portuguese Whitework to the guild group there. I’m sure we will have a lovely day sharing stitching and each other’s company. We’ll be making the hanging ornaments from my book “Portuguese Whitework”. Not all five though – just one each! I have some stitching with me to do […] In the next couple of months I’ll be teaching some classes here in Sydney. I’d love you to join me for either of these classes! Up first is a class at Mosman Needlecraft on 9th and 10th March. I’ll be teaching the Portuguese Whitework handtowel from my book. If you’d like to participate in this […] Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton Also in my new copy of Inspirations yesterday, there was a review by Susan O’Connor, of my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Some excerpts from the review: Yvette has an insatiable fascination with whitework styles and this, her fifth book, explores the embroidery of […] Today I received my copy of Inspirations 76. It is a lovely magazine, as always. Deborah’s Mountmellick tablecloth is simply gorgeous! In the project I have in the magazine – a Portuguese whitework scissor fob called “Squared Away” – I did discover one or two things that I felt were unclear in the diagrams, so […] Image courtesy of Country Bumpkin Country Bumpkin have the new issue of Inspirations, Issue 76, up on their website. I have something in this one: a small scissor fob featuring Portuguese Whitework. If you haven’t tried Portuguese Whitework yet, this little project is a great way to start. And then you can move on […] On Saturday I taught Portuguese Whitework at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I had a lovely day with a lovely group of women. They were very accomplished stitchers and produced great results. Personally, I was extremely pleased that after a week where my health had been up and down and all over the place, I had […] |
