Hi Joyce,
It's been a LOOONG time since we "spoke". I spoke of you recently
on the cruise I took the first of this month. One of the young men
taking photos was from Johannesburg and seeing his name tag made me
think of you. I told him I had an internet friend who lived in RSA and
he wanted to know all about us "talking" on the internet. Are you still
enjoying your FANTASTIC StitchAway Fabric Mount? How is the Nativity --
did you get it finished? If so, are there photos we can see???
Well, just wanted to say howdy. I'm glad to see you still look at
RCTN now and again. If you ever see any additional charts by the
designer of The Sangoma, let me know and we can do some sort of exchange
show/hide quoted text
again, OK? CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Hello, Tia Mary. It's amazing that we don't see posts from others in
SA, isn't it? I do know a few older people who have internet, but they
just use it for Email, and the pcs for playing games. Had the
photographer known about newsgroups?
The Sangoma designer gave up designing to help her son with his
business, I was told. Perhaps she'll retire one day and start designing
again. I don't have much chance to go to the NS where I got those
designs, so am out of touch. I can phone the NS if you really want
another of her designs - I'm sure there were a few more, but don't
remember any others. I'd love to have another exchange or 2, as I
haven't been able to get the last Monica Ferris yet. It was exorbitant
last time I saw it on Kalahari.net. Libraries here don't stock them.
I don't really use my beautiful Stitchaway, because my arms are too
short, but will use it for a frame one of these days. It's too lovely
to be kept hidden. Nice to hear from you again.
Joyce in RSA.

Adding to my post, I finished the Nativity years ago, and it went to
Australia with DD Margot. It took about 3 years to finish. I never
managed to get a complete photo, and Margot hasn't taken one either
afaik. It was greatly admired when put in the local exhibition.

I remember now that you had posted about finishing it -- long ago!
It was such a beautiful design, one I quite admire but will NEVER think

of doing! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

The photographer on the cruise ship did know about newsgroups but was
not really familiar with them. He was rather surprised to hear that
someone living outside of the really big towns was participating in them.
As for The Sangoma designer, yes, I would love to have more of her
designs if they are in the same vein. And you know MOI -- always happy

to participate in any sort of a swap :-). CiaoMeow >^;;^<
