Oh I have just discovered your website and haven’t moved from it for two hours – what a treausre trove! I am anxious to start on this embroidery – it looks achieveable – even for me! I have a marvellously exciting new project in mind that this will find right into! I am also working on a baby quilt that is made up of old christening gowns and bits of crocheting, tatting and embroidery women in my family have done over the centuries.
Would love to win

Hello
I am currently working on a Christmas gift for my friend over in Holland – a miniature quilt which uses a rolling pin as its hanger and I have found a lovely quilting poem which will feature on the front of it.The embroidery threads would be just the thing to embellish the poem with.
A lovely giveaway.
