Hello Mary,
I have just discovered your website via someone else's stitching blog, and I've just spent half an hour browsing. This is one of the best embroidery websites I've ever seen - I just love your videos on how to do individual stitches! I'll be revisting those soon, with threaded needle and linen in hand to practice while viewing. I'm going to mention your site on my little blog, so I do hope you get lots more visitors as a result - you're too good a resource to be overlooked!
Cheers,
Gina
