Hi Sharon,
I bought your book last week and it is really fabulous – what a lovely job you did! Congratulations!
I wonder if you could do a short video tutorial on the FARGO rose, I can’t understand it from the pictures in the book – probably because I am old and dim, but I would love to be able to make it.
Thank you,
Kind wishes,
