I survived the EGA seminar/50th year celebration & lived to tell the tale!!> Dear spiders Having just read Susan's email about the EGA seminar/50th year celebration, I realise that we have some embroidery folk on the list. I had a telephone call from Roy Hirst yesterday morning to tell me that his wife Barbara had passed away peacefully in her sleep late last Saturday night. Barbara & Roy Hirst have had two books published on figural Stumpwork and are acknowledged for the revival of Stumpwork in the UK. I am sure that many of you have copies of their two books and some of you in Sydney may recall seeing pictures of their beautiful Millennium Casket which I showed when giving a talk last year at the Australian EGA 50th Anniversary.
