You are amazing, entrepreneurial women, nurturing and developing continuity in creative, wholly contemporary ways. That is rare and difficult. It should be celebrated.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-27796719173811137582011-06-15T09:18:29.285+09:302011-06-15T09:18:29.285+09:30Jillian: Thanks so much for mentioning me along wi...Jillian: Thanks so much for mentioning me along with Prue Batten and The Stumpwork Robe. I met Prue through my miniature books, and when she told me she had published a novel, of course I had to read it. Not only did it have embroidery as an essential part of the plot, but miniature books too! These are un-put-down-able stories, with great storytelling and sumptuous descriptions. They have inspired me to design maps, costumes, and all sorts of other things as "fan art".Pat Sweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454492247856076451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-71450975983862825712011-06-14T21:01:39.924+09:302011-06-14T21:01:39.924+09:30Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful pre...Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful precis and review of the novels. As a writer I feel rewarded by your comment.<br />As an embroiderer, I should let you know that stumpwork still charms me and I am currently stitching Jane Nicholas's medieval mirror... a challenge and a creative balance for writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-62861698597763823042011-05-31T17:04:16.821+09:302011-05-31T17:04:16.821+09:30Very interesting blog post - its great to get invo...Very interesting blog post - its great to get involved in embroidery in all facets of life; I never thought about reading fiction about it though!! I have heard of a chic-lit book called the knitting club but I just don't think that it would be up my alley!SewnbySalibahttp://www.sewnbysaliba.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-33963290586436699822011-05-30T20:36:39.756+09:302011-05-30T20:36:39.756+09:30These sound fascinating.
