There's a story behind why it’s later than others here, but I won’t turn this into a rant... suffice to say that the PO is not in my good books!<BR/>Anyway - what can I say, Maggie... TTMM lives up to expectations. It really is a thing of beauty. I love the large page format, the fabulous pictures, larger-than-usual text and clear font. This really is the book I’ve been waiting for, in more ways than one. I love all things stitchy, but I do like playing with mixed media too, and have been wanting to find “proper” ways for putting it all together, for ages. I enjoy the interaction from courses and workshops but there are none in my area (the ones I want to attend are out of reach because of time, distance and money). I’ve done the local (ie “standard”, not very exciting) textiles courses I want to do, so now I just do a weekly watercolour workshop, which at least gives me a discipline of some kind, if not 100% what I’d like. So, your book and forthcoming classes are just what I’ve been waiting for, Maggie - THANK YOU for all your hard work! This has been a horrible year for me with one thing and another, and the book has really cheered me up. Looking forward to the classes!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901311088838354455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-91080140581955447142008-10-03T15:26:00.000+01:002008-10-03T15:26:00.000+01:00My book STILL hasn't come, much to my disappointme...My book STILL hasn't come, much to my disappointment.

All thanks to you and your little backroom elves. I've already had a play and am waiting for the gesso to dry at the moment. I've also been digging out your old on-line course material on machine embroidery there are things in there that I'd forgotten about. All great fun, look forward toyour next book.

We appreciate it. Do you have a DVD out that I could buy?<BR/><BR/>BTW - my daughter has a kitty as well, and lives in a flat in Amsterdam. He got out on the balcony, jumped to the window above, jumped back to the balcony fence - and missed. He was found clinging to the rail by his front paws, two stories up.
