We decided we wanted to talk amongst ourselves for 30 min. or so. We decided to record it and, as so often happens, we ended up talking for almost an hour. We covered an assortment of topics, including Christine’s initial efforts stitching Debbie Rowley’s Diamond Delight X chart, Welcome Stitchery’s 29th anniversary, Yvette enabling Gary to spend $50 on a pair of scissors, Mary Corbet’s sister stitching on birch wood, and next week’s guests. We hope you enjoy our ramblings.–Gary and Christine

This week’s guest is Yvette Stanton of Vetty Creations in Sydney, Australia.Considered by many to be the hobby’s leading whitework expert, she has traveled the world to research various whitework techniques and share their origins and how the stitching is still done today. Yvette has written eight books about stitching and we talk about all of them in the podcast, in addition to a variety of other topics. Her newest book, Early Style Hardanger, is a beautiful and knowledge-packed publication that resulted from her research trip to the Hardangerfjord region in Norway where she learned about the very origins of the stitching technique and how the Norwegian stitchers, to this day, produce some of the most beautiful needlework in the world. Please join us this week and learn about the world of whitework stitching. –Christine and Gary
