This morning I received a very exciting email from Catherine Rozendaal of NZ. She’s finished her sampler from Hardanger Filling Stitches and had this to say: “Stitched with DMC 3823 on a pale yellow Cashel linen. Love love loved stitching this, and learning lots along the way. Amazing that there are so many different filling […] Organza Hardanger Ornament Following on from my question the other day about projects in my books that you like to make, I’m interested to know about finishing. Most people indicated that the things they like to make are small things like needlecases, bookmarks, scissor fobs, biscornus and Christmas decorations (all of which I […] Hardanger projects from “Early-Style Hardanger” by Yvette Stanton A question I ask from time to time, because I like to be meeting the needs of my audience, is what sorts of projects do you like to make?

It’s marvellous, and I can attest that there are quite a few of us here who purchased copies as soon as it was published 🙂 Something to be justifiably proud of, together with your other publications; a wonderful contribution to the […] The other day I received a lovely email from Elena K in Finland. Six months ago I didn’t know about the existence of hardanger, but now it’s my favorite hobby. These are my works. I have been studying from your book for six months. Thank you! Wow, Elena! Your work is beautiful! I […] This week, after an exceptionally LOONNNGGGG wait, I have finally received new stock of the Premax ringlock scissors which are my choice of scissors now that we can no longer get Dovo Hardanger scissors. I find cutting with these scissors like cutting butter. They feel LOVELY in hand. I used these scissors while working […] On the weekend, I had a question from Christine, who has nearly completed the sampler in Hardanger Filling Stitches. She’s now feeling like she’d like to design some of her own Hardanger pieces. I’m all for this! If I can teach you how to work the stitches and that makes you confident enough to embark […] |
