  13. 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

    Thanks again for the dragonfly tutorial, never have I got so much attention for my work on SF.
