The Left-Handed Embroiderers Companion – current status

A lot of people have been asking about “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”. It is currently out of print, and has been for way longer than I had intended.

After I finished working on “Hardanger Filling Stitches” I planned to start work on a revision of this book, adding some new stitches. This plan has not […]

Kate, serious illness, demands…

I’ll never be Queen of England, but I might understand a little of what Kate is going through. I have people I don’t know demanding things of me, too.

I have been unwell for 4+ months, now. I have been quite open about it but haven’t announced a diagnosis – as is my right. As […]

Hardanger Filling Stitches reader testimonial

“Hardanger Filling Stitches” has now arrived in the US and Canada, and this is Mary Kay’s testimonial.

It is here! A beautiful piice of work, can’t imagine the amount of research involved. I have done hardanger all my adult life (am a senior now) and my mother (Norwegian) as well into her 90’s. Oh […]

Have you found any errors?

I know that many of you don’t even have your copy of “Hardanger Filling Stitches” yet, but I was wondering if anyone who does has found any mistakes. I’d love to think there aren’t any, but I’m far too much of a realist to actually think that’s true!

I usually post errata notices on […]

Additional and obscure stitches

I received a lovely email on the weekend from Deborah, to check if I was ok, as she noticed I hadn’t posted in a while. (Thank you, Deborah, for your kindness.)

Why was the release date delayed so many times?

When I started writing Hardanger Filling Stitches in October 22, I had no idea it was going to turn into the heavy tome it turned into.

For many years I have enjoyed working with Search Press who take my books to the rest of the world, other than Australia and New Zealand. I have […]

Hardanger Filling Stitches and the unique situation of Amazon Australia

Following yesterday’s post, I have seen complaints about Australians waiting until March for their orders of “Hardanger Filling Stitches” from Amazon Australia.

Amazon Australia do not purchase their stock from me. If they did, they could have had it months ago, along with the rest of Australia. Instead, they purchase from either Search Press […]

Differing release dates for HFS – why?

Why are the release dates for Hardanger Filling Stitches different around the world?

As Vetty Creations is the Australian and New Zealand publisher of Hardanger Filling Stitches, I do my own distribution in Australia, and orders went out as quickly as I could possibly send them. I have no control over release dates anywhere […]
