Hi Jenn. Love your hardanger. Please tell me what stitch you used in picture #5. It looks familiar, but I can't place it. I am really intrigued by it. It looks great in the colors you used.

It may be a violation, but I'm desperate. What book did you find it in? Maybe just the diagram itself wouldn't be too much of a sin. Or if the book is still in print and not too expensive, I might buy it.

Do you have a diagram for the Edelweiss filling for Hardanger that you could share with me. I'd like to learn that one, but don't see it in any of my booklets.

We only do what we love. For the pleasure of others who don't practice; it's the same thing for me with your pleasant hardanger; it's so colored and original !

your email was good for me: yes, you must learn and practice stumpwork; woman have not finished to work and take pleasure in the same time.
We have never finished a day. and night are too short.......isnot it?
I don't sure that what I mean is clear in american language...............
well, for me hardanger also is long...............so, we must choice between 2 pleasures and work.

Aaaahhhh. thanks for your appreciation Jen. Your embroidery work is beautiful. You must have a lot of patience. I like things to "grow" quickly. Your little Christmas tree embroidered on to card is a great idea...so simple, yet stunnung. I love it.

Hi Jen

I love what you're doing with Hardangar.I just saw your fabulous black piece with variegated (that's not the right term but can't remember the correct one :) ) Inspiring. Thanks.

Hi Jen,

I just noticed you live in Canton, MI. I grew up in Livonia, and my brother still lives there. I've been looking through your photos; my, you certainly are a multi-talented lady! Hardanger is about all I do... I love to work in colour, too; I use Caron Watercolours a lot, though I rarely use it for the whole piece; just some of the satin stitching as an accent. I see you love to travel; let me know if you ever decide to come to Australia!
