Hello Madame Emma,
Yes! Thank you! They are very sweet indeed. I wish I knew how to do that stitch that divides the colours....
Very much enjoyed that interview that you did with Anna for Pencil and Pipette! :)

Hi Corkey -- there are many more images from this book on Flickr. I don't know where my copy of it is - if I find it I will post the ISBN here. All the best!
