Anne, I do hope you can give me
the issue number for a Parisienne
scene featured in your magazine
a few years ago, which I stitched at
the time. One project had the Eiffel
Tower and a letter beside it. I think
there was also a chic lady, perhaps
in a red flouncy dress. I have all
my back issues, in sequence, so
I only need the number to find it.
My daughters went to Paris over
Christmas and I want to give them
a memento of their visit.

I’ve been searching high and low
for a chart by Joan Elliott. It’s of
Sleeping Beauty. Anne, do you
have any idea which magazine
