Now I’d like to introduce you to another Fairy coming out in World of Cross Stitching. Here she is, a gentle fairy mother and her darling little cherub. This design was done for making up as a birth sampler but if you prefer to use it as a picture, try filling in the area where the names appear with some of the pretty little posies at her feet.

Also, In Issue 152 of World of Cross Stitching, you may have already seen my Fairy Tale Alphabet. I did this design with little ones in mind. Use the letters to make up pretty name plates, door hangers, a sweet personalized pillow or whatever strikes your fancy. It might be fun to try your hand at using 14 count waste canvas to stitch a name on a sweatshirt or book bag too!

Hi Joan, Pleased to here that your brother is cancer free and hope that he continues to remain well. Love the new design in the World of Cross Stitching, your fairies are fab. I have just got Spring Fairy back from the framers and am halfway through stitching the Summer one that are in Cross Stitch Collection. Your designs keep getting better, and I always look forward to getting my needlework magazines when I know one of your designs is going to be in it. Lisa

Hi Joan, I’m happy to learn your brother is recovering well now. I do hope the treatments are getting fine results. Having dealt with my father cancer over the last 8 years, I know how tense and worried you may have been and what a relief it must’ve been to hear everything was all right.
your fairies are great as usual!!! I’m so eager to see the Autumn fairy in the next issues :O)
Wishing all the best

Hi,
I just discovered you Joan, altough I have been stitching for more than 15 years. I am currently stitching the summer fairy and am impatiently waiting for the autumn fairy. I would like to buy your charts especially the Renaissance ladies. From where can I obtain them ?

Joan, I love both your fairy and fairy alphabet. I’m also delighted to know that your brother’s surgery went so well and he is cancer free. I know that saying that is a relief would be a giant understatement. BTW, saw a full page ad in a recent Needlework Retailer that had your “Magic Dragon” for Charles Craft. It is gorgeous!

Hi, I would like copies of your renaissance ladies that I found recently in my cross stitch collection magazine. I am eagerly awaiting your Autumn fairy from this magazine. I am glad to see that your brother is recovering well.

Hi! I’m so glad to hear that things are going well and that your brother is cancer free – I hope that the treatments go well for him.
I have only recently discovered your designs, although I have been stitching for a long time. I love the variety that you produce and always look forward to seeing new designs from you. The fairy mother and child design above is just wonderful.
As with other people, I too am looking for your Renaissance Lady charts (the music, book and rose ladies) and wonder whether it’s possible to get hold of them somewhere – I am in the UK.
Best wishes,
Sally
