Hi Noelle, I love your work, it's really colourful and fun. Where do you live? I live near Redruth and Godrevy is probably my favourite place in Cornwall.

- Good luck with finding you way to Islington. I just know you have to go down the M4 until you reach London. We know that journey so well from Swindon to Essex. Advise you not to leave much before 7pm. The traffic has usually eased by then.

- Jill, The linen I use is called Primitive linen. I also use monkscloth. It has very large holes in it compared to the regular fabric linen. Also I use a number 8 cut, which is 1/4 inch wide.

- Hi Jill,
Thanks for your comment. I have never been to Cornwall but I can imagine that it must be beautiful.
I have used some of my batts in the needle felting that I have tried. I'm still learning with my needle felting and enjoying every minute.
