    The details in your embroidery are quite simply amazing!

    I've just started a new Stitchery Link Party and would love to have you come link up. http://www.supermomnocape.com/2015/04/13/vintage-embroidery-monday-stitchery-link-party/

      Thanks for your comments - much appreciated! I like your idea very much regarding the Stitchery Link Party - I will try to link in the future, but have a whole lot of work and students to attend to over the next couple of months, but will see if I can link later on. Many thanks again, and I will watch how your Link Party develops. Tracy
