    It has been years since I did embroidery and never knew there were so many stitches, it is enjoyable in itself to see all the different varieties each week. A great big bonus to see what you achieve with it each week, I look forward to each notification that you have posted. Truly beautiful, I don't know how you do it. xx

    Congrats on being highlighted! The blow up of your Mandala on Sharon's page really shows the details in full and is an enormous inspiration to us all.
    Thanks again for the dragonfly tutorial, never have I got so much attention for my work on SF.
