I ordered "Stitching the Standard" and received it quickly. I sat down one Saturday afternoon and blended colors so that I could get started. I've been working on it for about a week and will take a picture of it after one month has passed so that I can show you my progress! I decided today that I was also going to start bringing it to work so that I can work on it during my lunch hour as well as in the evenings! I am extremely pleased with your website and your products -- and especially your tips ! I'm already planning on my next order !
