As part of the final stages of preparing Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway for publication, I sought and received some pre-publication reviews. I sent PDFs of the book to a number of respected and highly knowledgable needlework enthusiasts for review. One of these people was Kari-Anne Pedersen, Curator of Costumes and Textiles, Norsk Folkemuseum, […]
I received a lovely message from a happy stitcher. “Thank you Yvette Stanton for a great book, Early-Style Hardanger.

I received my copy of Bunad Magazine today, which includes a review of Early-Style Hardanger.

Look what arrived in the mail for me today! Elaine was having a clean out of her bookshelves and decided that her copy of “White Work Embroidery” by Barbara Dawson, was surplus to her needs. She asked me if I’d like it. Being familiar with the book, but not sure if I owned it […]
Today (August 13th, which is tomorrow for some!) is International Left-Handers Day. Celebrate with me by doing some left-handed embroidery! For many left-handers, it isn’t too ridiculous to say that getting their own copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion, made the world of difference to their embroidery. Each year at the craft show, […]
