I have to say a HUGE thanks to the ladies who have offered me spare copies of the JCS ornie issues after I confirmed my loss. I am incredibly touched and humbled by your kindness, and I have to say I got a bit choked up when I was responding by email today. Words can’t express how grateful I feel … my ornie issues have always been some of my most treasured stitching possessions, so it will be awesome to have some of the copies available again to stitch from.
To top off that kindness, I also just received a comment on my previous blog post that I am the winner of Orna’s January Giveaway on her blog, so that lump in my throat just got an awful lot bigger (and separate to the current razor blade burning from my virus!). If you don’t know Orna Willis, she is one of my favourite canvaswork designers – her designs are exquisite. I love her use of bright and contemporary colours, and have a couple of designs kitted up ready for stitching. I look forward to receiving my new prize, as I think it will look absolutely stunning stitched up 😀
Here are my fave pieces yet to be stitched (I don’t actually own the last two though … yet):
And of course there’s the one piece I’ve already stitched – “Dena”, which I just adore to death! 😀
