Hi
Do you remember my post about the Bristol Sampler that had been in my family for several years? Thanks to Jacob at Modern Folk Embroidery I now know that it has been in my family since 1887 !
It appears that Elizabeth Travel was my great grandmother. More about this in a future post once I get my head around this.
I did a little spending at the Face Book bobbin lace suppliers spotlight page last week. I haven't bought any lace patterns for years and I have plenty to last me but these are rather pretty.
I have a new cross stitch on the go, this one was designed for the Projet Chiens aide aux Handicapes which I think translates as service dogs in 2008 presumably as a fund raiser and offered as a free chart in 2010.
From Monday, we are allowed to meet other people outdoor ( up to 6 people) and since the weather forecast is good for Tuesday I might venture out a little further than the local branch of Tesco :-) We still have to wait until at least 12 April for non-essential shops to open .
I even managed to make a start on the bag of cheviot ! so all in all not such a bad week.
and todays challenge is to sort this lot out double quick so I can get my laptop out for a zoom meeting as I don't have a camera with my desktop which is my general go to more most things internet.
Have a great week , speak soon xx

I am intrigued by your magnifier. I have one that goes around my neck and it's very uncomfortable. I'll have to look into a free standing one. Your bowl of fiber looks wonderful. I bought some raw fleece a while back with plans to wash in March but the weather has been awful. We had to sleep in the basement last night from the winds.
