    Welcome Gladys and flipflopflo. Lovely stitching and thanks for sharing. I  <3the highland cow. We all do other crafty things. I am more of a stitcher and love my fabrics but have been inspired and love to cross stitch as well now.
    Coxy so pleased to hear DD’s went well. Also wish him a speedy recovery. 
    Nmm thanks for the beautiful card and the most unexpected gift. I shall really enjoy stitching those.

    You are all so talented with the cross stitch. 

    Coxy, I hope your DD recovers well. I spent three years in Cyprus as a child back in the late 60s, early 70s and loved it so much. I suspect it’s changed so much now.

    Thanks very much @nmm. I have to admit it’s not my pattern, it’s based on a Delphine Brooks design.

    Have a good day everyone
