I really liked her ideas and the cameras were in good locations. Her embroidery was beautiful but I would have liked a close up of her embroidery.

Great, clear instructions and lots of lovely ideas for finishing. This made me want to finish stitching some embroidery WIPs so I can try one of these methods.
