Progress Report – Birds in the Bower

Hello Stitching Friends

I do hope you all enjoyed the Easter break as much as I did. I adore this time of year, after the long hot summer it’s such a relief to enjoy the abated heat and the cooler evenings. I’ve been making slow but steady progress on with the Birds. Lots of colourful plumage! A bit fiddly with the constant colour changes, but a really interesting piece.

Not far to go now. Just a few more birds to stitch, and the poem. Can’t say I’m looking forward to the over one on 32 count.

Happy Stitchng (:smile:)

    Dear Pokua:

    It is so good to hear from you!!! I am thrilled to announce that I have completed the Sara Hathorne!!!!! She is now at the framers. I will send you a picture of her when I get her back.

    Thank you so much for all of you help and encouragement.
