We've received a gorgeous card from Margaret Sherry which we just have to share with you!
Dear CrossStitcher readers,
Thankyou so much for all your touching compliments and loyalty. I enjoyed meeting so many dedicated stitchers at Olympia in March. Everyone is so very complimentary, encouraging and such fun to talk to! There were so many stories about readers' characterful cats and favourite designs! I will remember you all when painting artwork in the coming months!
Very best wishes,
Margaret
