Shirley
Goodrich - Bennett and her "Eight Immortals"
From
Shirley Goodrich - Bennett, sharing her enjoy stitching experience
"I recently finished your "Eight
Immortals" and wanted you to know how much I enjoyed
the whole project. This is something my husband wanted me
to do since we're both interested in Asian Art. We visited
your country a few years ago and it still remains our favorite
trip.
The project took me nine months. I know I spent at least five
hours a day but what a labor of love. I found your graphs
easy to follow and each page was another adventure for me.
I was sorry when it came to an end. My daughter finished it
for me and it now hangs in our dining room as a tapestry for
everyone to admire. I want Saifhon Borisuthipandit to know
how much I enjoyed doing the work. In closing, I want you
to know, I turned 80 while working on it and have stitched
with only one eye for five years."
Thank you for sending in a photo of the finished picture.

Thank
you Helen Sweetland from Lingfield, England for sharing us your
very good time with the super star Jackie Chan and PINN of Christmas
2000 & 2001.
…. Some time back in the year 2000, I heard Jackie Chan was
having another Fan Club Party in Hong Kong in December 2000.
I was determined I would go, and take him a Christmas gift.
I chose PINN Red Ferrari kit as Jackie loves cars, and has a
red Ferrari of his own, I hoped he would like this design. I
kept working on the Ferrari design, and added Jackie's name
on the bonnet in very slanted italic letters. Then I mounted
and framed it, using a black frame. Jackie was genuinely pleased
with the picture, and was showing it to the other people on
his table later on, even pointing me out as the person who had
made it for him.
….For Christmas 2001, with the picture of Jackie that PINN charted
for me about 9 months ago, which I stitched for him and gave
it to him in Toronto, Canada at a reception at the CN Tower.
He looked at it and said ‘It’s me!!’ Then he said ‘Thank you
so much. How long did it take to make? Being a member of his
fanclub, I realize there is no other big star would give so
much to their fans as Jackie does, he is a very special person
that only special gift deserves for him. My only problem now
is: what am I going to do for him for Christmas 2002?
Best wishes,
Helen (Sweetland)

The true story to
know us more…..
Quoted from Cross Stitcher magazine no.100 October 2000 column ‘Holiday
Snapshots’ page 8-9 by Reida Willman, St Helens Merseyside titled
of ‘Destination full of promise’ wrote that….
Before my recent holiday Thailand, I sent for the PINN catalogue
as they advertised kits of Thai dancers. I then noticed they had
a head office in Chiang Mai, the town where I was going to stay,
so I decided to try to find some kits while I was there. On a day
trip I saw a young lady doing cross stitch at the counter of one
of the shops. With help form our guide I got the name of the shop
she uses. The address was written in Thai and we had some directions,
so off we set. When we found the shop, the assistants were all busy
with their cross stitch. The shop sold nothing but cross stitch
kits and I have never seen so many in my life. There were literally
hundreds of kits on shelves and stands all around the shop. Even
though the girls spoke very little English, we had a lovely time
while they found kits in the catalogue I had taken with me and others
they thought I might like. So, if anyone is going to Chiang Mai
for their holidays, there is a lovely shop at the back of the day
market. However take some extra cash – they may be cheap but you
really are spoilt for choice and there is a great temptation to
buy more than you intended.
Of course as Ali from
answered to the story that you will have fun with PINN cross stitch
kits. If in Thailand, visit PINN at

Celebrate New Year with Saifon B.'s Fairy Bee. Brighten up
a winter's day with the sunny character. The Fairy Bee's impish
grin will bring a cheerful touch to your New Year's stitching
and would make a perfect picture or card for any fan of fairies.
The bee is just one of the characters from The Bee Gang. There
are five other individual ones to stitch - a dragonfly, ladybug,
butterfly, beetle and cocoon. All six also appear in a group,
nestling among cornflowers, lilies and thistles in one picture.
