    I love crows too. They’re the mayors of bird town, strutting their stuff. They chase predators away. When I hear them cawing out here, they’re usually on the job chasing away cats or birds of prey. When we have bread to spare, I make little peanut butter sandwiches for them. I also love watching you stitch. Those ribbon leave are especially cool. Thanks!

    One of the best things I picked up from you is using a patterned base cloth. (now have a stash of checked table cloths). Also I sometimes wrap a colonial knot 2or 3 times, no one ever told me I couldn't!1

    Thank you Jennifer for your video. It is so nice to see these stitches from your book come to life. I keep it with me when I stitch. What I love is you don't just say here is a book of how to do stitches but you give us these wonderful combinations to get us started on our creative journey. I sat in my friends garden stitching (she does not stitch) with your little caddy, set out my teeny pin cushion, 3 needles, ribbon all ironed and off I went. The chit chat ended up all about the caddy and why 3 needles. When I go back next week I will be taking some supplies as I think there is a convert coming into the fold she was fascinated with your book.
