No, she didn't get back to me. Thank you all for the lovely compliments. You are all so very sweet and kind.

I am waiting to do the backstitching for her face. Nora's patterns are very difficult to understand. I am trying to figure what she considers "eyelashes", "eyebrows", and "line above her right eye". I think I spend more time trying to figure out if I should do a cross stitch or a quarter stitch on her designs. Plus there are some scatter stitches on this pattern. So I have to ask someone to tell me how you tie down these single stitches so that they will not come out.
