You may remember that in January this year I spent two and a bit weeks in New Zealand, teaching punt’e nù, or Sardinian Knotted Embroidery. Each of the six classes did the Petite Doily from my book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery. The students made great progress, but I always tell my students that I love seeing […]

I’m back from a great trip around New Zealand. I’m also exhausted! I littered a trail of exhausted embroiderers across the country, I think! Off to New Zealand! On 3rd January I left Australia, having had hot weather of mid 30s (Celcius), arriving into Dunedin with temps of less than 10 degrees, with […] I have uploaded the gorgeous Vaupel and Heilenbeck linen bandings to the Vetty Creations website. All are high quality 28 count (11 threads per cm) linen. There are four different bandings: Top left: 12cm wide 2027 linen banding in red and natural. Top right: 12cm wide 975 linen banding, in white. Bottom left: 8cm […] New on the Vetty Creations website are a Hvitsøm pendant kit, and a 50 count linen. Hvitsøm pendant kit Hvitsøm is whitework from Norway, very much like Hardanger in some respects, but without the cutwork. Hvit = white, søm = seam or stitching. This kit, designed by Yvette Stanton, is worked in traditional linen […] I’ll be debuting two new products at Beating Around the Bush Market Day on Saturday: some gorgeous linen, and a new pendant kit. The linen is Weddigen 22 linen, a beautiful 50 (yes 50!) count linen, which you can use for very fine counted work, or as a lovely base for surface embroidery. It […] This morning I have uploaded some lovely new linens to the Vetty Creations website. They are from Weberei Weddigen (Weddigen Weaving) in Germany, who are manufacturers of high quality linen fabrics for hand embroidery. At this stage, I have chosen to stock three of their fabrics: Weddigen 121 linen (50 count), Weddigen 160 linen (34 […] This morning Karen Platt contacted me to let me know she had reviewed my newest book “Early-Style Hardanger”. You can read her review at yarnsandfabrics.co.uk. A small excerpt: Yvette Stanton’s books are all superbly created – she gives so much more than anyone can expect of her. From the clearest photos and diagrams as […] I went to Singleton in the Hunter Valley on the weekend for a workshop of Mountmellick lilies. Two projects were on offer, both featuring lilies: a cushion and a runner. Some of the participants of the class, hard at work. We had a lovely time, playing with stitches. We solved the problems of […] Before I hop in the car to head off to Singleton for a lovely weekend of Mountmellick embroidery classes, I just wanted to make sure that you’ve seen Mary Corbet’s review on Needle’n Thread of “Early-Style Hardanger”. If you’re familiar with Mary’s book reviews, you know how thorough they are, and this one doesn’t disappoint. […] Today I have two more reviews for you, both quite in depth. First, we have an excerpt from a review by Nicola Parkman from Hands Across the Sea Samplers: I have been eagerly awaiting delivery of Yvette Stanton’s new book “Early Style Hardanger” since its publication was announced, and I have not been disappointed.
