Hi, I was introduced to this site this week when butterflywing mentioned a page on my Appleton Dance blog and traffic increased ten-fold! I am a long-time needleworker formerly with the Pittsburgh Embroiderers Guild (now the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh). I now live in Michigan and wonder if I will meet any old friends from Pittsburgh and the NSCAE here on this site. I invite you to explore the free patterns on my blog; if you click on the little arrows by the dates in the Archive list, you will see the titles of various how-to posts.
