It has been a busy but enjoyable week. The books arrived as promised on Tuesday, and all pre-orders were posted by Wednesday morning. It has also gone off to the Australian distributors, so it should appear in the shops some time soon. The US shipment will arrive at the distributors some time next week, and the UK\/Europe shipment must be very close to its destination at the UK\/Europe distributors. There’s also a parcel waiting to go off to Capital Books in Wellington NZ, for all the Kiwis out there.<\/p>\n
After the orders had all been posted off, I waited patiently for a day or two, and then the phone calls and emails started arriving from people. And how lovely the response has been!<\/p>\n
A needlework magazine’s editor said “WOW…!!!”
Another needlework magazine’s editor enthused over the many stitches that she’d never tried before.
A needlework teacher who contributed many ideas to my stitch list said how wonderful it was, and that she’ll be promoting it heavily for me.
A student from one of my classes was thrilled to receive it before Christmas, and has just been waiting to use it.
Another customer said “It’s a book that desperately needed to be written, so thank you for it… very much, in fact.”
My mum (a right-hander) had a quiet read of it this morning and said that it has enthused her to get some embroidery out again.<\/p>\n
It has just been so wonderful to hear of people’s (I can’t figure out where the apostrophe needs to go in that word… sorry!) reactions to the book. I am thrilled that it is being so well received.<\/p>\n
Thanks for all the encouragement! I really appreciate it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
