Yesterday I updated my print runs spreadsheet to account for the book delivery I received from the printer last month. I was surprised to find that 84000 copies of my books (across eleven titles) have been printed. I’m quite shocked by this. Not bad for an accidental career, if I do say so myself! […] Books by Yvette Stanton Writing books about embroidery is my livelihood. This is how I work to pay my bills. I work to support my family by doing this. I create books, illustrations, photos, diagrams, text and more that are my intellectual property. Each of my books has a copyright statement in the […] A common question that I get is, “Which of your books do you recommend for a beginner?” That depends on so many things… How much of a beginner are you? Are you a complete beginner to embroidery, or are you a beginner to the styles of embroidery that I do? Have you done any […] Many years ago, an organiser of a yearly needlework teaching event said to me, “We can’t sell whitework classes.” Historically, they hadn’t had much success in getting people to choose whitework classes from amongst their class selections.

You can use these threads for Mountmellick, Hardanger, Frisian whitework, Schwalm, Portuguese whitework, Sardinian […] I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair in just a few weeks’ time. I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!) I’ll have all 10 of my books available at the show, and I’d love to autograph […] I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair in just a few weeks’ time. I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!) Today I’d like to show you some of the whitework fabrics that I will have with […] Today I take you through a range of gift ideas for Christmas, birthday or other gifts. There are some that are small, some that are mid price and some that are bigger ticket items. Hopefully there is something for everyone, and for all budgets, to inspire creativity and learn something new. If you are […] Some time ago I made a White Threads FlossTube video which was flip- or flick-throughs of all my books so that people could see what was in them, with the commentary pointing out notable features of the books. It’s been a popular video and hopefully people have found it to be helpful in assessing whether […] I realise that many of you buy my books online or order them from your favourite needlework store, having never really seen what’s inside them, unless you’ve seen a friend’s copy. That’s quite a leap of faith! Today I’m going to give you a flick-through preview of all my books, so that you can see […] |
