I have chosen this day to post this, because this is an exciting post.
First, today for 12 years ago my first serious stitching project was done, the butterfly pillow.
Second, an amazing story. About a month ago (Feb 28th) I had switched shifts with my collegue, so I wouldn't regulary be at work on a Wed. So that makes this all the more special. I had this customer, and we somehow got talk about stitching. I was telling her about PCStitch and the pansy, and how I use the program to make patterns. She got really interested and said would I be interested in helping her out with a project? To which I replied 'Would I ever!' So we exchanged info and do you know who she was? A grandchild of the one and only Eva Rosenstand!!! The best Danish crossstitch designer of all time, imho! My heart skipped a beat but I didn't make a scene or anything, got to shake her hand tho.
So we are in contact, I got to visit her and see the very first catalog and got to give opinions on some pieces. Met her sister and mother too. What I am doing is taking a finished piece and making a chart out of it. Easier said than done, but I am having so much fun doing it!! And she is also going to visit me sometime I am so excited!
