Thanks Kristin
I was able to go to your shop and order it from there.
Thanks so much!! Can't wait for my daughter to start stitching for Christmas.

You brought back a lovely memory, Kristin. When I was 7 my best friend's neighborhood had us over for tea and embroidery lessons every Friday after school.
Countless squirrels and lambs were back-stitched and french-knotted. Hankies were monogrammed for parents and teachers. It was skill that never left. I will never forget the generosity of that woman.
I have your book and it is (as always) colorful andl fun.
I bought this book for myself, but now my daughter is about the right age for it! Thanks for the reminder - something fun to work on over winter break.
What a lovely, generous offer, Kristin. I just ordered a kit for my niece who is the perfect age to pick up the needle. I know she will love your book!
I bought this book for my daughter years ago and then claimed it for my own. Whenever I pick up embroidery to start a new project or to play around, I go to this book. I really believe that we start simple (kids embroidery books for embroidery and coloring books for simple shape to embroider as well!) So glad to know that I have an "investment" now! Thanks a million -
I just saw this and have an idea. I've been looking and thinking about something I can teach kids in the summer when they really aren't too interested in knitting. This might be the perfect thing :D
