Thanks Deborah! Enjoy your time in China! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@DeborahWirsuTextileArtist]

Merry Christmas to you, too! Things are a bit chaotic here, having just moved house, and with the China trip next week, but I'm still in one piece (just!) and looking forward to both the break (albeit a working break!) and returning to my sewing machine when I return home. Have a lovely Christmas and I'll see you in the New Year.

I wish you only the best in all things for 2017, Deborah Wirsu! This 2016 recap video was quite enlightening about your love of and other talent in music....thanks so much for sharing! Like everyone else has already said...you videos have been both a joy and wonderful teaching tool. Perhaps one day you'll see me as your student in one of your teaching videos! Happy 2017 textile art teacher! ***smiles***

Thank you Ann (Aaynne)! I think I am very fortunate to have these two complementary loves in my life (art stitching and music) - I enjoy both immensely (and I need both to earn an income!). I really appreciate you taking the time to share your support of my work .

Hi Lynda - thanks for your lovely message - I'm glad I was able to inspire you in 2016, and hope to do so again in 2017! I'm about to head off to China for a tour, and just moved house, but am getting settled gradually and looking forward to returning to my Studio!
