The very first finish of 2020 is Janlynn's "The Sportsman's Dream"(I call it "Fisherman's Dream"). Now, that the BS is done, I admit that it does make a great difference. But boy, was it not a test for my nervous system!
A picture will be added to this post after ironing.
Now I am going to "get rid" of the Easter towel by the weekend.
This will be a double surprise- the birthday "child" (my good old colleague) does not know that I know he is a keen fisherman, and does not suspect I am a stitcher.
Absolutely beautiful! Your friend is going to be so delighted and the surprise is doubly wonderful. I hope you make sure to get a picture of his expression when he opens your gift. That is a photo that will have so many fun memories!

What a wonderful surprise for him! A delightful design for a fisherman with all the warm colours. You are a very generous friend, Lyudmila.

It is an absolute work of art Lyudmyla and that tedious back stitching is worth every second you put into it. You are a and here are a few more for fabulous stitching

Thank you for your kind comments. Here is another finish of 2020(was stitched in parallel with "The Fisherman's Dream" to keep me sane). Back stitch free, this Easter towel was easy and very relaxing.
Yes, exactly. Mabel, I did not know the English response to "Christ is risen", so thank you very much for your accidental, but so greatly apprecieted help. I have already put the phrase down into my special notebook. Funnilly enough, the words and phrases learnt at the uni 47 years ago (touch wood) all sit in their places in the brain, the "findings" of recent times need to be written down or they may go as easilly as they come.
You're welcome! The Dutch version is more like yours, I think, it says "He is truly risen".
Learning tends to be easier when we're young, alas! But we can still learn new things - it just takes a bit longer
