I bought Yvette Stantons Left Handed Embroiderers Companion and fell in love again with embroidery. Now I don\u2019t feel frustrated. <i>Joy Smith<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I own Yvette\u2019s amazing book on Mountmellick. Her instructions are amazing as are her designs. I am working on adapting her amazing florals to a 16 x 16 inch cushion design right now. Her books really are lovely. <i>Anastasia<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Yvette Stanton\u2019s leftie stitch dictionary goes everywhere with me when I\u2019m stitching. <i>Julia Wild<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Yvette\u2019s book looks great. As well as being beautifully presented this compilation about Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimar\u00e3es as a traditional needlework style, with information on its origin and instructional details on stitch techniques, is an important preservation of history. As time passes more of the intended original expression and knowledge of early needleworkers, and other information about the art style is lost, then sadly, remaining historical examples are misidentified or just lumped as whitework. Yvette brought us back to Mountmellick embroidery and now another whitework treasure. Lots of work done with love. Well done. I love it too.
