Alone with a book

I've just finished stitching this little scene - 'Under the Pear Tree', part of the 'Haven' collection of kits from The Stitchery. It was such a pleasure to work, especially the French knots!

How lovely, I can see the joy you must have had with all the French knots.

That is truly lovely. It made me happy just to see your handwork!

All credit to Nicki for the design.

I could have gone on and on ....!

Thank you, Carrie!

Love this, and your needlework is beautiful! I did a lot of crewel early in our marriage, even working my own design once or twice. I hope I can find this kit in the U.S.

P.S. Just clicked on the link for The Stitchery -- this kit is sold out (sad!) but they have lots of lovely others. Thanks for sharing this link.
