books going here there and everywhere

The mail out of Sardinian Knotted Embroidery was going so well that I accidentally ran out of padded mailers on Tuesday! Thankfully my supplier had them in stock so they arrived yesterday, though unfortunately they came so late in the day that I was unable to actually post anything that day. I’ll continue sending out books today for orders and to contributors.

I have been getting reports from those who’ve already received their copy. It is lovely to hear that they’re very impressed and very happy with their purchase! It also seems like posties have been heeding my demands not to bend the envelopes – yay!

The shipment has arrived at my distributor in the US, so hopefully the book will get out there in the shops in the next few weeks.

The UK and Europe will take a little longer, as being a big distributor they have proper procedures and release dates etc which means they don’t just rush something to the market. A little patience will be required, but it will be worth the wait. 🙂

The New Zealand shipment is also on its way, so all you New Zealanders will hopefully see the book soon in your shops too.

When you receive your copy from my mail out, or when you purchase it from your local shop, I’d love to hear what you think of it. You can email me directly, put it in a comment on the bottom of a blog post, or put it on the Vetty Creations Facebook page (while you’re there, “like” the page if you haven’t already). If you’d like to do an online review on one of the big online bookstores’ websites, that would really help to get the word out. And if you love it, please tell your stitching friends, write a review for your guild’s magazine or newsletter, and put it on your blog if you have one! (Thanks!)

I’ve organised some reviews in magazines and on needlework blogs in coming months, so keep a look out for them, and for their completely independent thoughts on Sardinian Knotted Embroidery.

Back to stuffing envelopes…
