Oh gee, I feel like it's Christmas. That would be great if I
could have a copy. I'd be happy to write to the person who taught the
class and get permission to use it. Either way (CD or copies) would be
nice. Where are you? I'll be at Laurel's Prize Tourney and can get it
there if that would work!! I'll bring you a thank you present!

as I find them I'm happy to send them... I'm going to start looking at
paintings and see if I can translate what the pattern looks like. We have
so much documentation on blackwork that I was going to see if I could find
other types. I started doing more embroidery and would like to do some
more period designs for the SCA. I've been doing some that are early 20th
or late 19th century just because I think they are so lovely.
Esther - what type of spindle do you want? Top or bottom weight? I have
some homemade ones that I can send your way. Do you have fiber for it. I
also can find something on milkweed spinning (I betcha!)
Thanks ya'll.
