Last November, I got sick. It felt a bit like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I’ve had it before) but also a bit different. Doctors checked for many things and treated some. After many months I was well enough to regularly drive 1 1/4 hours to the closest Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for treatment. (Western medicine […] With the Paris Olympics on, I think back to the time (2018) I invited my twin sister Prue Scott who was living in Germany at the time, to visit l’Aiguille en Fête in Paris with me. We met up with Anne Nicolas-Whitney of Et Brode le Papillon. Prue and I also enjoyed other needleworky touristy […] 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? I like to include a range of things to make in my books, with some large […] studying historical needlework samples For some people, qualifications are very important. So as a needlework teacher and author of needlework books, what are my formal qualifications? My training is in design.

[…] Yesterday I received an email from Janette. Congratulations on the new book! 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 […] Stitch tension is the thing that most people told me they needed help with when I was writing my book Hardanger Filling Stitches. If you’re one of those people, page 42 is the page for you – it’s all about tension! The image above illustrates the difference poor and good tension can make. Good […] Marion Scoular, Hardanger embroidery author and teacher, graduate of the Royal School of Needlework, and City and Guilds Silver Medallist, said this of Hardanger Filling Stitchesby Yvette Stanton: “I cannot imagine the time Yvette must have spent on this encyclopaedia andthe stitched models. It boggles my mind. Not only does she provide explicit diagrams […] As an author, illustrator and photographer who also designs the layout of her books (I have a degree in visual communication and my major project was in book design), I feel that makes my books somewhat unique. Most authors write their manuscripts and then their words get handed over to someone else to put […] |
