Book review: Sardinian Knotted Embroidery

On Sunday I received a lovely review of my latest book, Sardinian Knotted Embroidery, from Julie in Melbourne.

“I received your latest book for my birthday! Instead of just drooling over the pictures as I have done with the Portuguese one, I decided to MAKE A START!!

Well, doing the edging first before the embroidery is such a great thing to do. I do have quite a few nearly finished pieces of embroidery…… which languish nearly finished for years…

I am really enjoying the antique hemstitch and started the second circuit of 4-sided stitch today. It is SO meditative, I’m feeling quite relaxed after a stressful week.

I am rapt that I have mastered mitred corners, yours is the best explanation of how to do this. The book was worth getting just for that!

I also really like how you always describe how to add new threads, I don’t remember many books where they help you with this.

Re the erratum, I did it the corrected way, but looking at the picture in the book, I don’t really see why it wouldn’t work that way. Never mind, the result is what matters.

Anyway, thank you for all your hard work, it’s so much appreciated.”

Thank you Julie, for your very kind words. I’m glad you’re enjoying the book so much.
