As promised earlier I have now downloaded some pictures for you. The first two are both Victoria Sampler, Beyond Cross Stitch kits for my Quilt Blocks.
The next one is of my Flower Girl by Sue Page
Of course I always have to change things and I decided that I didnt like the "flat" look of the flowers so I chose to do french knots instead. The fks are deliberately different sizes and done in different directions as I felt this gave them a more natural look.

I also changed the colours as I did not have any Sugared Almond threads, the blue flowers are using a Kates Kloth thread and the rest I used House of embroidery threads. I also used a House of Embroidery thread for the woven look on the baskets.
Next I have a couple of pictures of the wedding we attended. Mathias is Goan and Agnes is Hungarian but they are a very well suited couple and though neither speaks the others language it is hardly a problem as they both speak perfect English.
The chap 2nd on the right is another dear friend and we kept teasing that we are expecting him to get married next year as he is Hindu and we havent been to a Hindu wedding lol. Agnes and Mathias had a very traditional Church wedding. Even the reception was very English and it seemed funny to see Goan ladies in all their finery doing the Waltz, Quick step and even the Cha Cha. Even the young ones seemed well able to do these dances which most people here would have been just shuffling round the floor too.
