I got an email in my inbox the other day titled "Sold out!"
It was from Laura at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland letting me know that she had sold the two copies of A Subversive Stitch that I had sent over, and asking if I had any more to send her.
That was just the loveliest little Christmas present moment for me.
Like the post title says, this little book just seems to keep on giving. I got so much pleasure from making it and photographing all those mad red threads, and then sending it out into the world; it then helped me work out my NY card, which inspired the header over at a letter a week 2013 and now, it is selling in America!
What a generous little book it is indeed.
So late last week I packaged three more copies up and sent them on their way across the Pacific in the hope they'll find new homes.
I stitch up red paper pouches for them...
Still madly in love with those threads...

ReplyDeleteI chose to write a general reply rather than individual ones in the hope that might mean I get to go comment on your blogs - it's been an age! Thank you all for your kind words about my wee book - funny how you become attached to some things you make and this is one I am most fond of. And yes Dinah - it did make the sewing machine smoke! Thanks again - big smiles all round!
