Just wanted to let you all know that I’m really unwell this week. I haven’t been well enough to do any orders. I apologise for this and will do them when I am able. It’s likely that it won’t be until next week. The picture is completely irrelevant to this, but I wanted to […] Petra asked me for help with diagonal box stitch. By answering publicly, you can all learn from this too. Happily, Petra let me know that the advice I gave her worked a treat! If you’d like me to help you improve upon a stitch you’re working on, email me (yvette at vettycreations dot com […] Detail of the Hardanger Filling Stitches Sampler from my new book, “Hardanger Filling Stitches”, by Yvette Stanton. I have mentioned a few times that I am not well, but there might be new people here who don’t know. I haven’t talked a lot about how the illness is affecting me, because some things […] Today we’re going to take a little detour away from needlework. As you may know, I’m not well, and it’s been going on for a couple of months now. The timing is pretty awful, given that I have a new book out, but honestly, it could have been worse!

A brief but just as informative version is in the alt text, […] One of the very first embroideries that I ever did was of wattle, Australia’s national floral emblem. In this video, I show you the embroidery that I did in my first year of high school, and explain the stitches I used, including turkey work which makes a lovely plush pile. I also explain some of […] I have been alerted to a couple more mistakes in my book Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland. Previously listed mistakes can be found here. They are as follows: Page 39: stitches and techniques listing – Four thread eyelets are listed but are not used in this project. Algerian eyelets are actually used. Their stitch […] It’s that time again when I go off into the wide blue yonder to do some research for another book. I’m combining it with a trip to Paris to go to l’Aiguille en Fête, the big craft show. I will attend to all enquiries and orders on my return. I apologise for any inconvenience. […] Over the past few years I have been very bad at keeping my office in order. It became a storage space for books and other stock, but also a dumping ground… 🙁 I hadn’t really been able to work in the space for quite some time. There just wasn’t room for me! It was totally […] As you may remember, I’m having time off with my family at the moment. I’d like to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas! We’ll be celebrating the birth of our saviour with friends this year. We are thankful to God for his provision for us. If you are unfamiliar with the Christmas […] |
