Dear Tamara and Spiders Way back, before I started making bobbin lace, it was suggested to me by a friend - another counted cross-stitch enthusiast - that I enter a class at her local show, which was open to anyone. I decided to enter a cross-stitch picture of a cat sitting among some delphiniums - bearing a remarkable to a cat I used to know called William. I made it from a kit, which I wouldn't have bought if I had realised how fine the count of the material was (at least 32, I think) and that most of the work was done with a single thread of stranded cotton. I won something like 75 pence, and came first. And I never heard from them again the next year - although my friend did - so I assumed they didn't want their ~Big Money prizes leaving the district again!
So I know exactly how you feel! Ann in Manchester, UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tamara P.
