  9. Congratulations! Your drawstring bag is gorgeous and I really want to make a few as gifts this year! Thank you for sharing!

  10. Congrats on the inclusion in the book. You should not be surprised when others appreciate your style and your patterns and want to publish them. They are unique and easily identifiable as your work, especially your birds and applique which I love.
