Hardanger Filling Stitches and the unique situation of Amazon Australia

Following yesterday’s post, I have seen complaints about Australians waiting until March for their orders of “Hardanger Filling Stitches” from Amazon Australia.

Amazon Australia do not purchase their stock from me. If they did, they could have had it months ago, along with the rest of Australia. Instead, they purchase from either Search Press […]

Differing release dates for HFS – why?

Why are the release dates for Hardanger Filling Stitches different around the world?

As Vetty Creations is the Australian and New Zealand publisher of Hardanger Filling Stitches, I do my own distribution in Australia, and orders went out as quickly as I could possibly send them. I have no control over release dates anywhere […]

How the book “Hardanger Filling Stitches” came to be

In October 2022, I was tagged in a FB Hardanger group comment by a woman named Donna. She was wishing for a compendium of Hardanger filling stitches (she later told me she’d wanted such a book for 40 years). She tagged me, because she felt that I should write that book.

When is it not Hardanger any more?

These photos are the work of my friend Cathinka, who is known online as Hardangerrebel. (You can find her on Instagram and Facebook under that name.) She’s been experimenting a lot with Hardanger – particularly lately – pushing the boundaries. Her moniker is quite apt! I have her permission to post these photos and […]

I have a few of Yvette’s books now and find them absolutely excellent. I was amazed at the incredibly quick […]
