Question
Hello,
I noticed that you list Thimbletter II as an organization that you belong to.  What happened to the newsletter?  We signed up for it, but only received a few before they stopped.  Thank you,
Barbara Tanner

Answer
Hi Barbara.  Yes, I was a subscriber to both Thimbletter, originally offered by Lorraine Crosby of MA, and Thimbletter II, continued by Dorthy Griffith after Lorraine's retirement.  I'm not sure how many issues Dorthy produced, but all the subscribers wound up in the same boat at you - having paid a subscription but not receiving all of it.  I've not heard any real reason as to what actually happened, but I did hear there were health issues that affected the the editor.  Dorthy is still around, as far as I know, but Thimbletter II is no more.  Barb A.
