<\/a><\/br>The final black and white proofs ready for the printers.<\/p><\/div>
\nI’ve finally done it!<\/p>\n
Overnight and this morning I transferred all the files to my printers, and then all the files for the five other books I’m having reprinted at the same time! Only about a year later than I had originally anticipated.<\/p>\n
What a HUGE amount of work this book has been. I have realised during this process that I am absolutely terrible at estimating how much time it is going to take me to do something. I thought this book might take a year to do, and as time has dragged on well past that year (to nearly two) I have on occasions become quite down about it. But recently I realised that this is the biggest book I’ve ever done, so of course it took a long time!<\/p>\n
It has 160 pages, 3 pattern sheets, and 10 projects. It is the very first Hardanger book to include both left- and right-handed instructions (as far as I know, anyway!). The photo above shows the final black and white proofs, ready to go off to the printers. The actual book itself will be in full glorious colour, though.<\/p>\n
I’m incredibly proud of it. And incredibly sick of it! Don’t get me wrong: I think this is one of the loveliest styles of embroidery that there is, but I’ve had quite enough of writing this book!<\/p>\n
Over the next little while, the coloured proofs will come back to me for checking. This is the last point where any changes can be made. Hopefully I will find nothing that needs changing!<\/p>\n
Then when all is approved, it gets printed. From there, the cartons of books get sent off around the world to me and my distributors. And then it gets sent out to retailers so that you can finally have it in your hot little hands!<\/p>\n
In the next week I will get the page on my website ready for pre-publication orders. Thank you for your incredible patience in waiting this long. Only a few more months now, and you can have your copy. I estimate I will see my printed copies in about June (I’ll probably have more of an idea of that in the next few days) and then it will be a bit longer than that to get into the shops in various parts of the world.<\/p>\n
