Texas stitchers and fans of Petei's designs already know all about Diana Bosworth, the genius who works at The French Knot in Fort Worth creating the monthly Santa club there each year from Petei's canvases.

Santa fanciers probably have at least heard of her little booklet called Beards I Have Known, which is full of tips on stitching a huge variety of beards and hair for your Santa Claus. (I own an autographed copy which I use a lot. Diana, I'm waiting for you to write Backgrounds I Have Known, or Clothing for Petei books. Either would be a great addition to my bookshelf. Pretty please?)

Now courtesy of the Cleburne Times-Review's online paper, we can read an interview with Diana done by Larue Barnes. Larue kindly let me use her photo of Diana above, too.

I have to say I disagree with Diana Bosworth's husband when he says, “I’m so proud of Diana. What she creates are heirlooms, they are true treasures.” The true treasure is Diana herself.
