A wonderful finish on your 90th Birthday gift Mabel the frame is perfect
I love your designs you must surely have the patience of a saint to do it with beads aswell
but the results are stunning

Boy, do the beads make the design stand out! (Your usual elegant design, I should also add.)

Not done an awful lot of stitching while we were away, and not much since then! Plenty to stitch, and I do want to, but then when I have time to stitch in the evening I just don't pick it up
I did manage a quick birthday card for my niece though:

The stitching is up to your usual standard, but I must admit your calligraphy impresses me rather more!
Just need a few more inks and... you'll be well away.
Regards,
Richard.

Richard, for cards like these I use a calligraphy fountain pen; I do have all the paraphernalia for "proper" calligraphy as well, including gold leaf and ground paints, but I must shamefacedly admit that I haven't touched them for many a year now

Elegant and beautiful as always and what a lovely idea to set the stitching near the top of the card too. Must remember that.

Not my stitching but they are my designs so I think it's all right to post them here
I taught another workshop for our church's building fund last Saturday and found I'd forgotten my camera
but two of the ladies very kindly sent me pictures of their finished projects. This was the first time I taught this particular workshop, and I was very pleased to find that timing-wise it worked out rather well, with some finishes and almost everyone at least three-quarters finished. It's one of the ones I'll be teaching in London in October as well.

They are both very pretty Mabel.
Glad you enjoyed teaching the ladies. They must have been very pleased to have you there to ansqer any questions they had & to show them how to do these. Good luck with the workshop in October
