In October, I’ll be teaching my first class for The Crewel Gobelin in many years. Since Julie took over the business a little while back, she’s been slowly reintroducing classes. And now it’s my delight to teach for them again! This will be one of the very first opportunities to learn Sardinian knotted embroidery from me.
Sardinian Knotted Embroidery Petite Doily
16th and 23rd October, 2014
The Crewel Gobelin, Killara, Sydney
This petite doily featuring a style of historical Italian whitework embroidery is from my new book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada. The style is called Punt ‘e Nù, and is from the town of Teulada, Sardinia, Italy.
It features a design using traditional motifs, worked in a simple knotted stitch. The doily’s hem is worked with a peahole hemstitch and a needlelace edging with picots.
Punt ‘e Nù is a counted embroidery, worked on 28 count linen. Experience with counted embroidery is recommended.

Hi Yvette,
I received my books (Sardinian Knotted Embroidery and Elegant Hardanger)on Saturday here in the US. I am very impressed by the clear instructions and hope to start something soon. I am glad I made the purchases.
And being the type who has not traveled much, I love getting packages from another country. I even opened the envelop and breathed in the air from Australia. Obviously I need to get out and start traveling more 🙂
LOL! Great that they’ve already arrived and that you’re very happy with them. 🙂 Was the air fresher than what you’re used to?! Or not so good?
