A long, long time ago, way back in 2000, I entered a hardanger I had designed and stitched in the Nordic Needle Hardanger Design Contest. At the time, I was working as a book designer for an international publishing company.<\/p>\n

I sent off a photo of my embroidery and was delighted when it was selected to be shortlisted. That meant that I had to send the actual embroidery to the US for judging. With great trepidation, I sent my embroidery off by courier to America. I really hoped that it would get there safely, and then get back again safely too!<\/p>\n

\"Award<\/a>The risk paid off, because my design was one of the six winners chosen that year. I was thrilled! In time, the design was published in the annual Nordic Needle publication showcasing the winners. (Mine is the one shown top right on the cover.)<\/p>\n

Because I won that competition, I sent out press releases to local publishers of needlework books, informing them of my win. I thought that I might be able to contribute a project to a book they were working on. They had other ideas, suggestion that I might write a book for them on Hardanger embroidery. And so began my publishing career!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I received an email from Antonia, one of my long time readers, letting me know that she had found a review<\/a> of that Hardanger design on a French website. I had not seen this review before, so was very pleased that she let me know about it.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Antonia for alerting me to the review, and thank you to Yolande, the author of the review. You have both been very kind!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
