I found out on Thursday that Sardinian Knotted Embroidery has been selected as a finalist in the Australian Craft Industry Awards for Craft Book of the Year!
This award will be voted for by a panel of expert judges. There are other categories that are able to be voted upon by members of the public, or craft retailers.
As it turns out, there are only two finalists in the category, and one wonders if because this is the first year of the awards, AND they extended the deadline for nominations, whether there were only two nominations in the category… I actually did wonder when I nominated the book, how many nominations there would be in the category, because really, there aren’t that many craft books published in Australia each year.
Regardless, it is lovely to know that “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery” has been selected as a finalist! Voting opens tomorrow. Go me! 😉
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Yeee-ha! Go Yvette! Congratulations indeed!
Congrats!!!! Go you indeed! I am waiting for my US source to stock it(as they definitely will) so I can buy it and add it to my collection. BTW… A question. I am headed to Venice I a few weeks. Any suggestions for viewing needlework or local needlework shops? Also will be in Athens and Olympia.
Thanks!
Fantastic Yvette! Best of luck!
Congratulations, Yvette! That is excellent news, and I think the competition was stiff with so many great Australian authors out there. Fingers crossed for you!
