This week I received an email from a customer wanting to check an instruction with me. (Thank you!)

Many people directed her to websites where she could get the information. She used one of those websites for her sampler. However, Mary Corbet and others also directed [...] Recently I have received several emails from people expressing their desire for more merezhka patterns as a follow on from my book Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska.
