25.01.2022 With all the excitement of Frisian Whitework arriving from the printer, I have neglected to tell you that "Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature" by Prue Scott and Yvette Stanton is finally back in print! http://vettycreations.com.au/catalogue-mountmellick.html Vetty Creations also stocks a full range of Mountmellick embroidery supplies including cotton satin jean, Mountmellick thread in three weights, needles, and knitting cotton.... #whitework #Mountmellick #embroidery

24.01.2022 Cindy Russell @variedthreads stitched this gorgeous mat, which I absolutely adore, using patterns adapted from my book "Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway". She's stitched it in delicious Rustic Wool Moire threads, which are the ones I used for my table runner in that book. Possibly I sound like I'm raving a bit. Probably because I am. I love this so much!

23.01.2022 Attention left-handers! If you'd like to celebrate your left-handedness today, for International Left-Handers Day, by purchasing a book just for lefties, this is what you can expect to find in my book, "The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion". http://vettycreations.com.au/left-handed-book.html

23.01.2022 I received a lovely email today from a happy customer in the US. I'm happy to post wherever there are reliable postal services. Thank you, Karen, for your lovely words of encouragement. www.vettycreations.com.au/frisian-whitework.html... #frisianwhitework #whitework #whiteworkbook

22.01.2022 In episode #53 of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette talks about linen thread - what she uses it for and what its advantages are. She shows some examples worked in linen thread, and explains the different thicknesses available. https://youtu.be/EoVTR6c2mug #FlossTube #flosstubersofinstagram #vettycreations #whitework #WhiteThreads #whiteworkembroidery #embroidery #linen #linenthread #hardanger #FrisianWhitework #londonderrylinenthread #goldschildlinenthread

21.01.2022 I'm back on FlossTube!

20.01.2022 Today I show you one of the smallest projects from my book "Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway" - the scissor keep. This is a great first project, to learn the basic techniques and try out something new. You also end up with a really pretty but practical scissor keep in which you can store needles and pins safely. It would make a beautiful gift for yourself or someone else special. This project has a supplies pack available, to be used in conjunction with the instructions i...n the book. https://youtu.be/WjGUZGea-10 #WhiteThreads #VettyCreations #YvetteStanton #FlossTube #Smøyg #patterndarning #Norway #scissorkeep #scissorfob #Auverasoie #finedaubussonwool #morawool #flosstubersofinstagram

20.01.2022 Coming up very soon is the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, at which I will be exhibiting and launching my new book "Frisian Whitework"! Vetty Creations will be at stand F08. I will have my new book for sale, all the projects from it on display, as well as fantastic new products and ones you know and love.

SEE YOU THERE! #sydneycraftandquiltfair2021 #intocraft #sydneycraftandquiltfair #frisianwhitework #YvetteStanton

19.01.2022 What's been your favourite of my White Threads FlossTube videos so far? Why did you like that one? I have a fair amount of variety in my video topics because I'm interested in a lot of things - is there one or more topic that you enjoy more than others? Have you shared any of my videos on your social media? Why or why not? https://www.youtube.com/c/yvettestanton

19.01.2022 Today I give you a little look at a gorgeous book I own, called "1000 Artisan Textiles", by Sandra Salamony and Gina M Brown. It's a book full of textile inspiration, and always worth a browse. This is not a how to book, but instead is cover to cover with images of textile works including wearable art and couture, fashion accessories, soft furnishings and vessels, tapestries and display art, and art quilts. So much to drool over! https://youtu.be/WhJ_ee9aT_A #FlossTube #WhiteThreads #YvetteStanton #vettycreations #bookreview #flosstubersofinstagram

18.01.2022 Beautiful Sotema 20L linen from Italy is back in stock. This linen is a clean, crisp, 38 count in Optic White. I use it particularly for Portuguese whitework, but it can be used for any counted embroidery where 38 count fabric is desired.

16.01.2022 Some sad scissor news today. http://vettycreations.com.au///10/29/dovo-scissor-sadness/

15.01.2022 In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, I show you a special embroidered gift, and the story behind how it came to be given to me. It's a piece of Chinese embroidery, and I explain one of the reasons why I love looking at embroidery from other cultures. https://youtu.be/bVze_qQXu-4 #WhiteThreads #VettyCreations #FlossTube #flosstubersofinstagram #chineseembroidery #friesmuseum

13.01.2022 Today I review the book Fashioning Fashion, which is a gorgeous book showing beautiful clothes from LACMA’s incredible fashion collection. I do a flick through so you can see what’s in the book, and also show some details that particularly caught my eye. https://youtu.be/-8wZzUF7QXc #WhiteThreads #VettyCreations #YvetteStanton #WhiteworkQueen #embroidery #tailoring #bookreview #flosstubersofinstagram #flosstube

11.01.2022 We all have favourite small businesses that we like to support. It doesn't always take money to do that. And at the moment small businesses can do with all the support they can get.

08.01.2022 Something that I've wondered about for a long time is how did embroiderers in times past, see to do their embroidery? Lighting was poor inside, with no electric lighting, and often only candles or firelight. For many they would have been working around and outside the home in the daytime, so couldn't make use of sunlight to embroider by. So when and how did they do their embroidery? And consider that they often used to work on fabric counts of 60-100 threads per inch which is... much, much higher than we are used to these days. Today I explore this in my White Threads FlossTube video, with a possible solution from Kari-Anne Pedersen, Curator of Costumes and Textiles, Norsk Folkemuseum, Olso, Norway. I make pictorial visits to open air museums such as Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts, Skansen in Stockholm and Norsk Folkemuseum along the way. https://youtu.be/eWtJB3ym7lc #vettycreations #FlossTube #WhiteThreads #YvetteStanton #historicalneedlework #norskfolkemuseum #skansen #hancockshakervillage

06.01.2022 Today I have a little update on the temporary change in my circumstances, and an update on my forthcoming book, "Frisian Whitework". https://youtu.be/qMvWGd-Qbsg #whitework #WhiteThreads #VettyCreations #flosstubersofinstagram #FlossTube #YvetteStanton #FrisianWhitework

06.01.2022 White Threads FlossTube #56 Mountmellick Dogrose and Honeysuckle Doily Today in my White Threads FlossTube video I show you a Mountmellick project that I have taught many times, and also have available as a kit: the Mountmellick Dogrose and Honeysuckle Doily. I give you a tour of all the stitches, talk about the knitted fringe and about some of the things that are important in Mountmellick embroidery. https://youtu.be/Vzgpgyy9CwQ... #WhiteThreads #VettyCreations #FlossTube #YvetteStanton #whitework #Mountmellick #Mountmellickembroidery #whiteworkembroidery #handembroidery #handembroiderykit #whiteworkembroiderykit #Whiteworkqueen #flosstubersofinstagram
