I am about half way through this piece and enjoying the work, I have been very ill with Leukemia and needed and bone marrow stem cell transplant ant this has be a very helpful distraction.
To say I’m thrilled about this kit is an understatement. Every time I look at the pattern, yarns, etc. I get a thrill. My slate frame arrived a few days ago and I have been relishing every moment of setting it up and dressing it. My mom was very instrumental in enabling the purchase of this kit for me and I will always be grateful to her for that. Thank you to everyone at the Crewel Work Co. for all of your dedication, hard work and inspiration/perspiration that make this kit and all your other goodies available to us lucky folks! Humbly yours, Stacey Totzke
