SURPRISE!

I had a wonderful surprise phone call the other week, from my daughter saying that she had just got engaged.  So I have been busy stitching an engagement card especially for them.  All in her favourite colours, and here it is.


Hardanger Heart using DMC 4220 thread/floss and lilac beads.

Finished Card.

A surprise also awaited me this morning.  The doorbell rang and the postman had a small package for me.  I wondered what could be inside!  I soon opened it and found I had won a Giveaway from "Cross Stitcher Magazine".  Inside was 8 Christmas Cross Stitch kits and 2 packs of 10 cards to put my stitching in.


Kits and Card by Hobbycraft.


Happy Stitching Everyone
