Australian Cross Stitch

Thinking of my brother and his family who live in Brisbane and are enduring the terrible Queensland flooding.  Fortunately they live in a suburb which is far enough away from the river system and is on slightly higher ground.

As you can see from the date on this cross stitch, it was sewn 20 years ago when my friend Aileen and I took a year out to go travelling in Australia. (apologies for the window reflection)

An Angel

I sewed this cross stitch about 6 or 7 years ago while we were living overseas.  She was put into a box and was totally forgotten about until recently when I was having a "tidy up" and found her again.


She's called Serena and is by 'Just Nan'.  She's worked on 32 count linen and I'm sure I would get cross-eyed if I were to attempt sewing her now.


Anyway, she has now been framed and has a new home in the "lucky corner" of my desk.
