Thank you very much for your fantastic textiles – except one…
Books are sanctities for me.
And (I’m an old one) remember the awful burning of books by nazis in Germany and elsewhere.
I think highly for your art, but I should like if you consideration this kind of sad deed of this era – the II. world war’s time.

Best regards
Marianne

It was so inspirational and even though I am now 86 I shall be lifting the bar on my next embroideries. I have been following Jean’s work for many years through the wonderful library of the Embroiderer’s Guild of the A.C.T., Canberra, Australia and completed a piece inspired by Jean’s overcast stitching. It was good to be reintroduced to Barbara Lee Smith as she stayed with me when she came to Canberra to conduct a workshop many years ago.
