Yvette Stanton’s new book will be available in early 2024 in the U.S. and possibly late 2023 in Australia.
Part of the sampler project that will be in Yvette Stanton’s upcoming “Hardanger Filling Stitches” book.
Designer, teacher, author, and master whitework artists Yvette Stanton, of Vetty Creations, returns for a third conversation in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. This time we talk about saving old/traditional techniques, what it’s like to research those techniques, Yvette’s upcoming book “Hardanger Filling Stitches” and what we’ll learn from it, her view of online classes, and some tips for those interested in giving whitework a try. If your interest is whitework, you want to expand your whitework skills/techniques and/or you want to learn how to do whitework, Yvette and her library of books are your best starting point. Her books and the supplies you need are all available at Sassy Jacks Stitchery.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Yvette Stanton II

Yvette Stanton’s new book, Frisian Whitework.

Yvette Stanton, of Vetty Creations, returns for a fun and informative conversation about whitework (obviously), color work (yes, she uses color threads), and several of her books. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and the Embroiderers Guild of America (egausa.org). In the show, we talk quite a bit about Yvette’s upcoming book, “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland,” which will be available in Australia soon and in the rest of the world in a couple of months. Watch Yvette’s YouTube videos to see several of the projects that are in the new book. We also learn some history about the roles of various whitework techniques in costumes and other clothing. It’s always a treat to talk with Yvette and we hope you enjoy the conversation.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 4-8-20

Vonna finished these.
We made it to the middle of the week and decided to get together for another chat. As always, this Wednesday gathering is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. We talk about our Easter Stitchathon, upcoming SALs, and continue our discussion about needlework things we haven’t done but want to do. We were only able to cover two of the items–hardanger and gold work–because we had a lot to say about them. Join us for another fun conversation and be sure to put our Easter Stitchathon on your calendar. It will be live from noon to 6:00 p.m. Eastern on our Youtube channel.–Gary and Vonna

Nicola’s Bathya sampler, showing both sides of the reversibly stitch reproduction.

We’re back for another Wednesday chat. Christine is traveling for the paying job so Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers was kind enough to fill in. In addition to samplers ;), we talk about bead storage, Yvette Stanton’s next book and recognition for her work, and Nicola’s upcoming travels to the U.S. It’s a fun conversation, so haul out your favorite project and start listening and stitching.–Gary and Christine
