I want to say a HUGE thank you to Michelle (yarnstachick on IG) for introducing this concept to me. To say I love it, is an understatement. I'm totally hooked and I look forward to making tonnes of cards using my gorgeous silk threads :)
**Another HUGE thank you to Claire (Pyrex Stitches on YT), Susan Harrison, Michelle (yarnstachick on IG) and Teresa (little_stitcher on IG & YT) for your incredibly generous gifts. I will treasure them and also use them all...... Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
