    Dear Claudia,
    I have used a quotation from you in a book I am writing about ritual cloth, centering, etc.
    It begins. “In counted thread embroidery you begin by finding the center…”
    I no longer have the book and wondered if you could tell me the page number it appears on. I have the rest of the reference.
    Thanks so much, Mary

      Hi Mary. Page 9, Introduction “As Soothing as an Old Folk Song” Your book sounds interesting. What will the title be? Best, Claudia
