My Grandma taught me to embroider before I started school. My stitches were quite large and uneven then, but I've continued to improve over the 50-some years since! I'd found the vintage transfers she taught me with on your website and bought them immediately. I really like vintage embroidery and am looking forward to buying the new book.

Julie

Your book looks wonderful. I especially like those embroidered baby kimono jackets. I recently found a little baby jacket I had started when I was pregnant with my first baby (she's 21 years now). It's embroidered with rabbits, flowers and birds. I'm really enjoying finishing it - her baby is due this October. I do love to embroider!

Hi, Vicki,
I'm very excited about your new book and I can't wait to receive my copy! I teach embroidery to seniors at the local Senior Center. It's very gratifying to see them so enthusiastic while persuing a pastime that many of them learned in their youth! Last week I taught a lady of 85 years who had never embroidered at all, but she was so happy to learn! Thank you for the inspiration that you provide to all ages. Best Regards, Debbie
