May 2009

Rheinfelden, May 29, 2009

Dear members,
This Newsletter Nr 35 can be viewed here on the homepage, with links to the special entries. It is sent as well to all members as a word attachment to e-mail. And I am again sending a paper version to members without an e-mail address.

I am happy to inform you that a part of the Vocabulary - cross stitches - will be published this summer. It will be a booklet of 20 pages in 4 colours and many examples of historic embroideries. You will receive more information as soon as it is available.


Thanks again for sending to me several contributions. I am appreciating all your further information very much.

With all good wishes
yours Anne Wanner
