I have that chart card, and started a little sampler with it. The larger piece is gorgeous. Seriously considering that kit.

I found you on Youtube looking for a hemstitching how-to. So please to have found you and love your designs and creativity, thank you.

Certainly enjoyed your video and love your work.

I am so excited about the book, can't wait!

I love the cross designs. I stopped the video I was so excited!

Any suggestions for a nice 'blank' napkin to embroider a flourish on- that won't wrinkle terribly, if that exists!?

I can't find the bandanas on your site. Are they gone? Was it just an example? Because those were all great examples but also my friend would love those exact bandanas....

I really love your translation of historical designs to what modern crafters can do. I am curious about what inspires you to translate Greek designs to modern projects - but I don't want you to communicate more than what you want. I am a classicist/ancient historian, so that's one part of what I love about your designs, in addition to simply enjoying making the projects.

I just received your Folk Florish "Garden" kit. I plan to sew myself a shirt with the embroidery on it. I love your Aegean Arbor design. Guess I will be ordering that kit soon. Can't wait for your book to be released! Thanks, Krista.

Thank you Krista ! I placed my order for your new release. Have tried to purchase the waste canvas you use but have not been able to find. Do you carry it ?? If not, which one do you use.
