Have been knitting alot in the last few weeks though - suffering from craft withdrawl. Cheers Janine

The Hapsburg Lace is by Tanja Berlin of Berlin Embroidery -

Tanja is very clever, the instructions were excellent and very easy to follow. I wanted a lacey effect on canvas and began to look around. When I first got the instructions I was overwhelmed by how big the document was and it seemed too complex. Yet when I sat down to work the sampler I found the instructions were very easy to follow.

Thank you I see you are from New Zealand Thats where many great stitchers are from. I love your wall hanging it is very whimsical. Do you do stumpworK?? If you want to do bugs get Jane Nicholas books she is amazing and from your part of the world. I love Inspirations magazine and that is the mag I would like to get my basket into. Great to dream!!

Anyway, my son - who can take good photos unlike his Mum - was home a wee while ago and so, finally, I've got a full-size photo of this quilt! I'm so touched that you were interested! Cheers! Charlotte

At 9:41am on August 14, 2008, judy harper said…: Your work is too wonderful!! I love your colors!

At 6:46am on July 28, 2008, Christina Porter said…: I think I saw your sheep at the Wellington Work Day. Going to Horowhenua Work Day this weekend, and then Masterton Work Day in two weeks. look forward to meeting you. :)

These cold days are so good for sitting in front of the fire stitching, its great!
