Books by Yvette Stanton Writing books about embroidery is my livelihood. This is how I work to pay my bills. I work to support my family by doing this. I create books, illustrations, photos, diagrams, text and more that are my intellectual property. Each of my books has a copyright statement in the […] Yesterday I finally sent off the files to the printer for “Hardanger Filling Stitches” and reprints of “Early-Style Hardanger”, “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” and “Portuguese Whitework”. Hooray. I’m exhausted! A common question that I get is, “Which of your books do you recommend for a beginner?” That depends on so many things… How much of a beginner are you? Are you a complete beginner to embroidery, or are you a beginner to the styles of embroidery that I do? Have you done any […] Now that I have written three Hardanger books, questions I have already had and probably will get asked more and more are, “Which one is best to start with?” and “Which one is best for a beginner?” Elegant Hardanger Embroidery Elegant Hardanger Embroidery is less comprehensive than the others, but focuses more on contemporary […] I visited my off-site storage for my books yesterday. I saw a carton sitting by itself and wondered what it was. It was next to the Frisian stacks, so I assumed it was one of them. Imagine my surprise to find it was a whole box of “Early-Style Hardanger” which I thought I was completely […] 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 […] Today I take you through a range of gift ideas for Christmas, birthday or other gifts. There are some that are small, some that are mid price and some that are bigger ticket items. Hopefully there is something for everyone, and for all budgets, to inspire creativity and learn something new. If you are […] In this video I show you how to remove slubs from linen thread so that it doesn’t catch every time you pull it through your fabric. Linen thread is commonly used in Frisian whitework, and early-style Hardanger embroidery. I also let you know of a “Frisian Whitework” Dutch speakers FB group. If you’re a Dutch […] Today I give an update on the bulk shipment of Frisian Whitework and when you’re likely to see your copy, if it is being shipped by me. I’m in the middle of preparing project supplies packs, ready for the massive mailout. It is definitely not too late to order your copy of Frisian Whitework or […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, I show and talk about the biscornu project in my upcoming book “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland”. It’s a pretty project featuring more lovely Dutch Heritage fabrics, worked in white linen thread on white linen fabric. I had a request from one of my viewers for me […] |
