I'm not sure I would have the patience for such a thing. But what a gift to the gentleman. I'm sure he was very pleased!<br /><br />I'm actually writing to say how thrilled I am with the book The Complete Photo Guide to Crochet which I picked up last week and only just had time to sit down and look through this morning. WOW. What a terrific resource! I've been crocheting for 25 years and have shelves filled with magazines, books, patterns, so many resources but I believe this will be my go-to guide. <br /><br />Thanks so much for this wonderful reference!KinnicChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218550072471850253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859825650824518471.post-49407130986179050632011-04-23T19:49:40.234-07:002011-04-23T19:49:40.234-07:00Wow!

Words can't express my sincere...Dear Margaret,<br /><br />Words can't express my sincere thanks and admiration for the beautiful work you did to restore my family's antique afghans to their original beauty. <br /><br />Your skillful craftsmanship was evident from our first meeting. But even more significant was your thoughtfulness and caring for these old treasures, hand crafted over countless hundreds of hours by my great aunt Mary likely more than 70 years ago. Although I never knew her, I know Mary would be even more delighted than I for the new life you've given these beautiful afghans that were sitting in a box o' these many years.<br /><br />Margaret, my family and I will be forever grateful to you. Thank you, godspeed, and very best wishes,<br /><br />PeterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415154204621754635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859825650824518471.post-61041723293894202172011-02-22T18:46:27.939-08:002011-02-22T18:46:27.939-08:00What impressive pieces.
