The KITS are in the MAIL!

Tonight, 68 kits are on their way to eager embroiderers around the world. (Picture flags waving and people shouting joyfully.)

We are waiting for address information and/or payment from some others, so if you think your information isn’t complete, give Kathy a call (508-746-1622 X 8114).

Kathy and I have been stressing about the kits just a tiny bit, and it was amusing, and a bit eye-opening (Hmm, have we been fretting audibly?) to see everyone in the building wander down to look at the fabled kits as news of their arrival spread through the office. There were lots of oohs and aahs as we admired the silks and gold thread, and tiny paillettes, and then the real work of slipping letters in envelopes and slapping labels on packages was begun by Kathy’s intrepid helpers, Elise and Laura.

There’s a lot of information and pieces of paper in the kits, including instructions, answers to frequently asked questions, and a questionnaire for you to fill out and send back with your sample, so look through it all carefully and make sure you send back that questionnaire.

Here’s one more treat for tonight, the detached buttonhole needlelace instructions. This is the last of the stitch instructions to be posted here. I hope you’re having fun with them.

More news tomorrow.
