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.

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! At least the book […] When I close the Vetty Creations office, I always put a note on my website (on all pages) explaining that the office is closed and when it will reopen.

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 […] Over the next two months, I’ll be in and out of the office a few times. From 17th-27th December, I’ll be taking time off to be with my family.
