Hi Folks!
Summer… The right season for holidays and reading
Certainly thanks to some more spare time, we’re all willing to dedicate some more hours
to our books!
Among the books who have stuck us most, lately, there are these from
Vetty Creations an Australian publishing house with an evident vocation to embroidery in all its declinations! And even though the publishers are located in Oceania, the editors of
Vetty Creations clearly show to be Old-Continent-oriented
Their volumes, in fact, are all focusing on the most ancient needlework techniques from the most different European areas: from Portugal, with its "
whitework", to Ireland, with the white on white flowers of its
Mountmellick; passing through Scandinavia, with their world-famous and versatile
hardanger, to the highly particular "
Punt 'e Nù" from Sardinia and the
drawn thread embroidery from Ukraine!
Complete handbooks, with step-by-step instructions, all in the most international language of all, English, that are meant to preserve and hand down all the wonder of the art of needlework. Fortunately, these forms of art aren’t reserved anymore to few, noble and rich ladies, but they have become an heritage for everyone and are thus universal!
Discovering how many common features this expression of human creative flair shares, even if, after all, in countries so far away from each other, it’s like making a fantastic journey around the world, even for the message of “people union” that can be read between the lines of these volumes, as well as through their threads, so patiently crafted, though so amazingly at anybody’s reach: as if there was actually a common thread, joining all the most far away territories, both geographically and culturally
Truly unmissable, then, there’s also this book, fully dedicated
to left-handed stitchers with its comprehensive explanation of 170 stitches, expressly conceived for all who use their left hand to create and craft, in a world “dominated” by patterns, instructions and tools designed for the more common right-handed consumers
So, if you’re left-handed, you just’ can’t miss it! And we know there are a lot of you left-handed, out there
Enjoy and hear from us soon!
