Janet has been busy in her workshop, its warmer.

Tiger crossstitch 22" high x 8" wide, took around 3 months work (after house work)

Will make a frame when my fingers warm up in the workshop.

Nice work Janet, but a word of warning to you. It's coming up to winter in UK and you might find if hubby's hands get much colder he'll use the wood he has earmarked for the frame for other purposes, like warmth. It's one of the rasons I moved down under.

Thanks Prozac.

There is some of her work in Vic. NSW & Qld.

She's not bad seeing she has arthritis in her hands.

Hi Jow,

A very nice piece of work completed by your wife there. My wife does cross-stitch as one of her hobbies and is also talented at it. I was interested to know if your wife's work are in public places (that can be viewed) or with relatives?

I just read that the UK has had it's wettest year in 96 years. Can you still see the sand on the beaches by you?

Regards
MH

The nearest display to Melbourne is most probably at Tolmie.:)

Some members and rellies.

Many of our local inhabitants have devolved and have foot rot, but we living at the top of a hill do not suffer the same.

Thanks for your compliments and best wishes to your wife, If she is in need of stock get in touch with Victoria House at Mittagong, nsw. They have the best display and stock in the world of cross stitch.

John Victoria House is up for sale lock stock and building not sure of the outcome, if it will continue/move or close.

Very sorry to hear the news, I must admit they did have rather a lot of stock.

An ebony frame just might do justice to the beautiful work by Janet:2tsup:

The wife says thank you for all the compliments.

She will have to wait until late spring for the frame, touching any tools in the workshop at the moment just creates condensation. But a dark coloured timber for the frame does sound attractive.
