They knew I couldn't afford any of their beautiful embroideries, but they welcomed me into the store when it was normally closed. They'd just finished one of their spectacular shows, and said that everything was still "up" except for a few pieces that had been sold. What a wonderful morning - my husband and I had lunch in that little pub that they recommended, and they asked us to come back again in the afternoon to make sure we saw everything! So much warmth and wonderful knowledge! I hadn't known they'd passed away - the sampler world won't be the same without them.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877038657361699565noreply@blogger.com
