I love this piece, Cheryl, what a wonderful surprise in my mailbox. Thank you very much!

Your stitching is terrific -- both neat and lyrical at the same time.  Love the "shaking her head to make her meaning clear" in the music directions. Like a…

Thank you, SH, for the special tv -- not only custom-made but with traces of zombies thrown in free.  Below, SH explains his daughter's participation.  Originally we were aiming for knobs, but hey, kids know better:
