Yesterday I updated my print runs spreadsheet to account for the book delivery I received from the printer last month. I was surprised to find that 84000 copies of my books (across eleven titles) have been printed. I’m quite shocked by this. Not bad for an accidental career, if I do say so myself! […] One of the things I have always loved about Mountmellick embroidery is the playing with stitches. When you don’t have colour (it’s whitework embroidery), pattern and texture can be obtained from stitches. Why work plain old buttonhole stitch, when you can work wavy top buttonhole stitch?! This lily is from the Shamrock and […] As an author, illustrator and photographer who also designs the layout of her books (I have a degree in visual communication and my major project was in book design), I feel that makes my books somewhat unique. Most authors write their manuscripts and then their words get handed over to someone else to put […] 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.

(*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 […] In this video I show you some completed embroideries by some of my students. I also continue with the theme of tips for using embroidery hoops. This time I cover what to do if your fabric is too small for your embroidery hoop, whether the embroidery being squashed by a hoop is a problem, and […] 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 have no idea what episode of White Threads Floss Tube it is – it’s been THAT long! I introduce my new needle minders and show a few useful ways to use them. I let you know of the postponement of the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, show the supplies […] At the end of last week I took possession of the Australian bulk shipment of Frisian Whitework along with five other reprints. This means ALL my books, including the long-awaited reprint of Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature, are back in stock. My dad and I organised them all into my warehouse. It […] |
