booklets and I am having a wonderful time. It is really hard to drag myself back to the present. I feel as if I time travel.

“The Nellies” which has been reproduced and stitched in Australia by Sandra and Suzanne, is being released at the 2020 Nashville Market.

This sampler took me on amazing journey back through some happy childhood memories of my own and then even further back as I delved into various rabbit holes. I learnt so much. All the people and places connect to tell a fascinating tale.

I hope you will enjoy The Nellies and their booklet."
