Some people go on a book tour when they release a new book. I’ve never done this, but I thought I could instead take you on a tour of some of my books. I know that some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning but some of you are newer […]

From 2017 to 2018

What will Yvette’s next book be about?

At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair on the weekend, I revealed the subject of my next historical embroidery book. Note, I did not say “historical whitework book”, and that’s because this time it is not whitework!

My next book will be entitled “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”, and the embroidery is done […]
