Synopsis: A book of beautiful hardanger projects with step-by-step instructions to appeal to a wide range of contemporary needleworkers. With three chapters of graded techniques and 15 projects, the book will appeal to beginners and competent stitchers. The 15 projects have been created especially for this book and contain stitch instructions, project instructions, black and white diagrams and charts and beautiful colour photographs of the 15 projects. Hardanger embroidery is a style of cutwork embroidery that originates from the Hardanger region of Norway. It involves white embroidery on white linen, where the removal of some of the fabric's threads produce a lacy effect.

About the Author: Yvette Stanton is the publisher and designer behind Vetty Creations. She has a passion for whitework embroidery, and a passion for sharing it with others. Yvette has written three books on whitework, one of them with her twin sister, Prue Scott. Yvette is an accredited tutor with the Embroiderers Guild of NSW, and teaches embroidery classes, specialising in whitework at shops and guild groups around Australia.

Both Prue and Yvette have a particular love for whitework embroidery. Prue is also a trained botanist and botanical artist, and her beautiful designs are a feature of this book.
