More book reviews

I’ve just added a whole pile more book reviews of my books to the book reviews page on my website.

There are many, many new reviews there, and if you’re looking for a new embroidery book, read my book reviews page first!

A few samples of the reviews for you:


The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion:
“Other embroidery books MIGHT have a section for left handed embroiderers, but usually only basic stitches are presented. This book is a treasure trove of stitches that we left handed stitchers can now learn to do the correct way. It is the best embroidery book that I own. The steps are all pictured clearly and are easy to follow. THANK YOU Yvette Stanton for recognizing the need and creating this embroiderer’s bible. W.S. Massachusetts”


The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion:
“This book was given first as a gift to me. I then bought it to give to my needlework school as it was amazing. I think it is the best book on the market for this subject. I use it frequently. Instructions are clear. Excellent pictures. For anyone who does needlework this is an absolute must. Linda Ingham”


Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães:
“The techniques for this beautiful form of whitework are well illustrated and explained as always in Stanton’s books with step-by step photos and written instructions. Best of all, all materials are easily obtainable and the projects cover a range from beginner to advanced so mastering this lovely form of whitework will be a snap for even a novice embroiderer. Another highly recommended book from Stanton. Lovely pictures, inspiring techniques and projects, clear and understandable instructions for the visual and the word focused learner -what more could any crafter ask? Highly recommended. A. McPherson, Utah”


Elegant Hardanger Embroidery:
“I bought this book as a gift for a friend who is a relative beginner at Hardanger – she found it so useful and the instructions so clear that I bought a second copy for myself. In addition to the basic techniques there are helpful tips not found in other books plus some delightful projects. C. J. Kilby, France”

If you’d ever like to review one of my books, you’d be very welcome to! If you’d like to submit your review to Amazon, or your favourite book-store website, I’d be very grateful. Of course, you can also post it in the comments section on my blog posts, or email it directly to me. Thanks!
