"Roz and Sue: We recently moved from Massachusetts to Delaware and I received your new catalog a few days ago. Although I did not know my mail deliverer, she knocked on my door the next day to ask if I knew how to do hardanger proficiently enough to help her.. I stitch both hardanger and cross stitch a geat deal now that I am retired She wanted to know if I could help her with a stitch she just couldn't master in a project she was working on. Of course, I was both flattered and excited to make a new friend who is a needle worker and all thanks to your newest catalog and the classes I took from you at the first Nordic Needle Retreat. Thank you so much. Sue, I hope you are well into recovery. Happy Stitches, LI"
