"This was my very first bit of goldwork. My father made such a big deal out of it, I gave it to him. Well, the man being the woodworker he is, carved a frame with Oak leaves. He is giving it to me for my birthday."

Hello, I'm Ren and I am an embroidery addict. I love every single type of embroidery. I took on cross stitch with DMC thread when I was young, but as I have become older I have started using silks on Opus Anglicanum. I've tried to stop, but the thread is too strong for me to give it up. My husband, ever the enabler, has agreed to support me on thread therapy at the Royal School of Needlework. Pray for me...
