Red, you do such a precise, beautiful job! I love the patterns you have. Were they iron on or preprinted? Just so pretty. I have a few blackwork books, and I had fully anticipated doing something with them until I rediscovered quilting. I just can't get as excited about hand stitching. I do have four Nora Corbett flower counted cross stitch fairies that I want to do when I'm "idle". Have you seen them? They are beautiful. I love seeing any embroidery, so thanks for sharing. Now we need to have a stitching party in your back yard with all your flowers. You know, Colorado "ain't" that far from Nevada..... :twisted: :twisted:
