following up a message from Doris Wills to Dorothy Ferris:
 DF> to improve and or things I may be doing wrong. This is certainly a
 DF> pleasure for me.  Thanks ever so much.  I really do appreciate
 DF> this.  I became real discouraged after making 26 blocks (2
 DF> different swaps) and had them returned because they were hand
 DF> stitched. Especially after having asked if it was okay to begin
 DF> with.  So the only explanation I could come up with is that I'm
 DF> either doing something wrong or my stitching is awful.  Having you
 DF> to check it out for me will be so helpful in all my future blocks. 
Dorothy,  the block you sent me a few months back when I won the QBE is
of course one of your hand-stitched beauties.  It is fantastic. Suzanne
was here this weekend (my sister) due to the death in our family and we
compared your blocks.  We both adore them.  You have such nice, neat, 
evenly-spaced stitches and your points are all perfect, or very close to
it!  Anyone who would send one of your blocks back is sick in our opinion.
Keep up the beautiful work!
Later!,
           Pat
