It seems this is always happening!!
I shall now have to search for a thread that matches or buy another kit!!
What is the picture of Vicky? My granny was a seamstress and she did the most beautiful embroidery when she was able. She sewed a lot of pictures when she stopped working. She always had a thimble and a lump of waxy stuff on the table beside her seat.
Cross stitch Dis and very apt in our house.
My dad's eldest sister was a seamstress as well but it left her with terrible arthritis.
His other sister was the one who showed me how to cross stitch.
It's a cracking hobby, nice and relaxing.
