Fresh Raspberries

Mary has sent us this picture of freshly picked raspberries to remind us that this is the season of a wide range of tasty fruits. I hope you and your husband enjoyed eating these fresh from the garden?

Thanks Mary. They look delicious.

Crewel work Daisy

After finishing her embroidered circles, Janet has completed her first attempt at crewel work by embroidering this wonderful daisy onto the same fabric.

By adding a piece of ribbon orientated in a particular direction she has linked the two together to produce the cover of a book.

Thank you Janet. It is a stunning book cover.

Art Nouveau Roses

Joanna has just finished her first attempt at crewel work and has produced these very attractive embroidered roses with swirly stems.

It is very beautiful and I hope it will not be your last attempt at crewel work. Thanks Joanna

Arum Lilies

Mary has sent us this beautiful patch of arum lilies and she has more around the garden which she thinks have self seeded. They always look so pure and stately.

Thanks Mary

Coin Purse

Bev has just finished a small coin purse which she started in Kendal and looks as if it will be useful.

It is very pretty and I love the material with the hares[?] Thanks Bev
