Just wanted to say thank you so much for the lovely ribbons I ordered I am putting them away as a Christmas gift for myself to use with your wonderful new book. I have all your books which I absolutely adore and taught myself silk ribbon embroidery from them but this latest book is so wonderful and for me, it combines my love of felting with my love of ribbon embroidery. Thank you so very much from a very very happy customer and follower. Luned in Denbighshire, UK.
