While I was away, the advance copies (copies sent ahead of the main shipment for final approval) arrived on my doorstep. While there is a certain excitement about this, there’s also great trepidation: what if I find a mistake?! I haven’t found any mistakes yet. Thankfully! It is a little bit exciting that […] At the end of September and beginning of October, I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide, Australia. This is always a fabulous conference, with lots of wonderful tutors, students and classes. This year I will be teaching the following classes: Portuguese Whitework Bookmark – Sunday 28th September, 2014 […] Mary Corbet has written an excellent article on the non-availability of fine white threads for whitework embroidery. This is an issue that has caused problems for me on occasions. When I was about to publish my Ukrainian book – which specified broder cotton No 12 as being the best thread to use – I suddenly […] It’s what you’ve all been waiting for: “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” is now available for pre-publication ordering. This means that if you order now, when our shipment arrives in July, we’ll send your copy to you as soon as it arrives! If the shipment arrives earlier, we’ll send your copy earlier!

Until I’ve figured out what book I’m going to do next, this […] I’ve just spent the morning updating the classes page on my website. These are all the classes that are currently finalised for 2014 and 2015. There’s a great mix of new projects and old favourites. Take a look and see which ones you’d like to join me for. By clicking on the images below, you’ll […] Well, tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow I will hand over my next book, “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”, to my printers’ Australian rep. I’ve never actually done a face to face hand over before. Usually I parcel it all up and send it via courier. It’s a bit new for me, but it will be nice to […] Here is your very first glimpse of my new book, to be released in mid to late 2014. It is called “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” and features the beautiful knotted embroidery of Teulada, Sardinia. Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada by Yvette Stanton More details will be released as they become […] I thought you might like to know that I have finally completed the embroidery on my tablecloth! YAY! I still have the hem to do, which will be properly (and laboriously) hemstitched, so that will be a few more months work probably. I have also been making scrunchies (hair tie thingys) for a gym fundraiser. […] On Friday I received a lovely surprise in my post office box. My copy of Inspirations 80 had arrived! This is the 20th anniversary of Inspirations magazine, and to celebrate they have 15 projects all by Australian designers, one of whom is me! My project is a little biscornu, featuring Mountmellick embroidery. It was […] |
