Grr, I've had the worst time trying to sync from Wordpress to make this comment! Love your stitching and definitely want to make this project! I'm going to "follow" you but don't know how you'd then follow me. This is my 1st time trying to connect to other stitchers' blogs, but you are like me and do all sorts of hand stitching, so if you like my site, please connect. www.collector-repair-services.com
