All my books at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair

I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair in just a few weeks’ time. I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!)

I’ll have all 10 of my books available at the show, and I’d love to autograph your copy for you.

Sometimes people ask me, “what’s the best one for a beginner?” Well, that really depends! If you don’t want to count threads, then one of my stitch dictionaries will give you so many stitch options to play around and experiment with, or Mountmellick is a non-counted embroidery. If you like counting threads (maybe you’ve done some counted cross stitch and want to try something new) then I’d suggest “Frisian Whitework” or “Early-Style Hardanger”.

ALL of my books are written with beginners in mind. But equally, there is so much in each book that there will be something new even for people who have been stitching for years.

They all have step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams. Apart from “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” and “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” which are my stitch dictionaries, all my books have a range of projects to try. And there’s historical information on the embroidery style. Many of my books have both left- and right-handed stitch instructions.

My stitch dictionaries are regarded by many as the best stitch dictionaries around. They love the clear instructions, the huge range of stitches, and the bright and colourful inspiration photos.

This is what Karen said about them, “I have recommended your books to everyone that starts the journey of handwork. These are by far the BEST books out there & I bought them all when I first started stitching. Once I bought your book I never needed to refer to any of my other stitch books. I bought 2, one for home & one for travel bag.”

So come and see me for all your whitework embroidery book and stitch dictionary needs at the Vetty Creations stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. Stand H10, 29th June-3rd July, Sydney Showground, Homebush.

If you have any questions about these books, please just ask!
