The big give-away draws near

Hi Folks



Really started something with the old money reminiscence! Not good to go there - especially the gasoline - we pay about double that Wabbit


Becky - we do seem to have finally made contact and it's exciting that you are going to write an article for us.



The launch for the books looks set for 30th June. My book is printed and at the binders and Lynda and Carol are being printed now. Here are the printers proofs, spread all over my dining table, with the dynamic duo's postcards for the giveaway.
.




. I've got some postcards, too, as well as some small embroideries.

Plus a couple of pieces of work. You've seen the scroll and here's a small weaving I'm fond of, which is also up for grabs.

.
Then there are loads of materials from Colinette yarns to stitching silks. Also sheets of Lutradur, shrinky plastic and lots more.

Further details later in the week.

Very much looking forward to the new books. I hope I don't miss thelaunch, I will be out all day on the 30th! But I am on the mailing list :o)

I'm excited about the prospect of getting the new books and hope that I'll have time to play with new techniques by then. Gas prices are jumping by about 5 cents per day here. I know it must be hard to have Americans whining about prices that seem ridiculously low to you, but we really have few other options here. No train service to speak of and really no bus options either, plus far bigger spaces to cover. So I guess I just need to stay home and play with my sewing machines! ;-))

Looking forward to the launch of the new books on 30 June. The proofs in the picture look very interesting, not to mention the other goodies. I hope your website will be able to cope with all the orders!

Love that little weaving, Maggie!
Not long now till the big day - you must be exhausted by all this hard work so I hope you might fit a little holiday in somewhere along the line...
