I received the following note last December:

Hello Pat!
I’m a quilt teacher in southern Sweden and have been researching some projects I’m thinking of doing for next semester’s World Quilt Club. I’ve found your website very useful for research and inspirational purposes, thank you!
I’m thinking of doing a small project involving Redwork and came upon a picture on your site that I absolutely love, it’s a picture of a sun and a moon kissing which you’ve said you’ve adapted from an antique pattern. I’m wondering if I could get your permission to use that piece of artwork to introduce my class to Redwork embroidery?
If not, I completely understand and respect that.
Please let me know asap!
Thank you,
Tamara Schultz
After I had replied that it was fine to use the design in this manner, Tamara got right to work. Here are some photos she sent today:

Thank you, Ms. Schultz, for all of these examples. It looks as though your students really enjoyed this project, and you, too! Great fun! Keep up the good work!
