Tuesday May 20, 2008 Joanne Sanderson launches her new website
After a very hectic time during the last six months and in between writing two new books for David & Charles (3D Rubber Stamping, and Cross Stitch 100 Cards) I've just completed my brand new website and I'm so excited about it I had to tell you all!
You can find freebies and new charts to download at www.joannesanderson.com I will continue to add new charts almost daily and I have plenty more freebies to add too, so watch this space. Readers can also email me on the contact form – I would love to hear from you.
With only a few weeks left to complete my latest book it's panic stations here. Thank goodness I have some help with the stitching this time – thank you to my wonderful stitchers! Once the book is finished I will be getting stuck into designing lots of new projects for CrossStitcher, just in time for the Christmas issues. Christmas is my favourite time of year (except it will be the middle of summer, as everything is done so far in advance), but it always seems to last for six months of the year when you are a designer, and I do get confused as to which month we're actually in!
