3 hens and some previous finishes


I have got around my photo issue, but still not able to do it as I normally do.

Here is my mini IHSW progress picture, at least there are the correct amount of french hens now.  I don't have too much to do to finish this one.


I am also posting some of my previous finishes from years gone by.  These are projects I did for my mother and I have photographed them while I am here staying with her.

The first is of Bourton-on-the-Water by Derwentwater Designs.  My mother and I stayed in this delightful Cotswold town when she came to visit me in the UK.  It is stitched on 14 count Aida as supplied in the kit


The next is a street scene based on the lovely town of Port Fairy in Victoria, Australia.  It is a town on the Great Ocean Road - a wonderful coast drive between Melbourne and Adelaide.  I did this trip with my mother many years ago and stitched it as a reminder of one of our favourite towns on the trip.  The design is by Juniper Designs and stitched on linen.


And finally a squirrel by John Stubbs for Heritage Crafts.  My mother had not seen a squirrel until she came to visit me in the UK and just fell in love with them.  I have given her many squirrel presents since including this picture.  It is also stitched on linen.  


Unfortunately I haven't kept a record of when I finished the designs.

Will try to do a bit more of my french hens this evening.
