Instead of just drooling over the pictures as I have done with the Portuguese one, I decided to MAKE A START!!<\/p>\n<p>Well, doing the edging first before the embroidery is such a great thing to do. I do have quite a few nearly finished pieces of embroidery&#8230;&#8230; which languish nearly finished for years&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I am really enjoying the antique hemstitch and started the second circuit of 4-sided stitch today. It is SO meditative, I&#8217;m feeling quite relaxed after a stressful week.<\/p>\n<p>I am rapt that I have mastered mitred corners, yours is the best explanation of how to do this. The book was worth getting just for that!<\/p>\n<p>I also really like how you always describe how to add new threads, I don&#8217;t remember many books where they help you with this.<\/p>\n<p>Re the erratum, I did it the corrected way, but looking at the picture in the book, I don&#8217;t really see why it wouldn&#8217;t work that way. Never mind, the result is what matters.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, thank you for all your hard work, it&#8217;s so much appreciated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Julie, for your very kind words. I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re enjoying the book so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday I received a lovely review of my latest book, Sardinian Knotted Embroidery, from Julie in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I received your latest book for my birthday!
