Another one finished for the exhibition.
I purchased the printed background picture and have had it for years.
I started to embroider it about 5 years ago and every now and then I would put a few more stitches on it.
Then I decided to take it on holidays with me this year as I could pick it up and do some more to it whenever I had free time.
I decided to put it in the exhibition this year because they needed extra things as the numbers were down a bit.
I have a lovely old frame that I call "old reliable" which I will use -and I have a new mount board to go around the embroidery.
"Old Reliabe" trots out each year--when I have something to frame for the exhibition which will be used for something else later on in the year and the same applies this year.
When the exhibition is over I will take the embroidery out and use it for the other purpose which I will explain later on.
