I'd like to thank Kimberley for these images of her lovely needlework.

Two talented men in her life, her husband and father-in-law, built the Deep Purple-coloured A-frame for Alice. She then had the brilliant idea of embellishing the frame to reinforce the glitter and sparkle of her stitching.

(Kimberley also sent a photo of her beautiful, customized Pirate Treasure: The Oak Island Mystery).

Thank you very much, Kimberley
