Well girls, I’ve finally had some time to do some sewing and guess what, it’s on my new Husqvarna Epic. It’s so big I had to fully open up my Horn cabinet.
I’m going to make 2 of these hand towels for my best friend Sue who has moved down to the Southern highlands (a 3 hour drive door to door). Sue has always come to my Annual Christmas ladies luncheon, but now she is so far away I suggested it was too much.Anyway we are going down to Lake Crackenback Resort Thursday for the whole weekend for our Niece’s wedding. It’s a good 8 hour drive and on the way home Monday we are staying at Sue’s daughter’s B’n’B in Penrose. Sue and her husband Dave have moved to Bundanoon! Doesn’t it sound gorgeous? It’s a very cool region and their winters are much colder than ours here in Newcastle. It just so happens to be their 46th wedding anniversary on the 28th so we are all going out Monday night to celebrate.
The significance of the Daffodils is that they represent the 46th wedding anniversary. I hope that Sue likes them. Love Chris.

234486That is beautiful! She will treasure it for sure. Enjoy your trip and the festivities! I wonder if the design is on my Epic. Oh, and what a nice cross stitch in the background!

Hi Suzanna, the design isn't on the epic I got it from Emb Library. She loved them and our wedding festivities were fabulous. See my reply below to Penny re the crossstitch!
We are really tired and need a rest for a couple of days!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Chris
18140WOW! What a great machine and the stitchout is fabulous! That "Dear Friend" hanging on the wall is to be treasured too.
I always admire what you create and long to be as skilled as you.

Great eye, that was made for me by Sue, so it's only appropriate don't you think? The FSL star was made for me by Meg.
Sue loved them and already has them hanging over her bath in her new home. Love Chris

Hi Laura, thanks so much. I know Sue will appreciate them. Trev just told me that his sister Cheryl says to bring an Umbrella. We've got some pretty gnarly weather coming to the south of NSW. Love Chris
96265So glad you are using your new machine. What Fun!

Thanks so much Tonya, I had to fiddle around to find where the USB designs were! It's different to my Ruby Royale! Love Chris

2267Can not see the images other than small thumb nail but way to go. The gifts will be cherished. I did not know that about Daffodils. Mine are popping up out of the ground now. Love that new Epic too.

I can see your design & project today up close. My internet bugs out sometimes and some pics do not show up. Bad weather here today and what do you know, your pics are showing up. Love it.
1847366017You have a beautiful view, a beautiful new machine and a pretty design stitched out. Have a wonderful trip enjoying your niece's wedding and a special visit with good friends. And thanks for teaching me about the significance of daffodils. I didn't know that!

Hi Karen, I didn't know it either. Google is full of information!! Thanks for the good wishes, I'm so looking forward to it. It's been nearly 3 years of trying to organise this get together. Love Chris

Hi Maria, thanks for the good wishes. I hope Sue likes the towels too. Love Chris
20244what a super new machine Chris. I hope you have many hours of stitching together. My new machine is large too. A daffodil is the flower of Wales. Currently I have a few blossoming in the huge planter outside our front door. Enjoy your travels, fun and meeting friends and lots and lots of chatting

Hi Caroline, yes, I knew the Daffodil was your country's national flower. Mine from South Australia is the Sturt Desert Pea, bright red and black, a very unusual flower.
I can't wait to catch up with Sue as she couldn't come to our Christmas get together at one of our local Nurseries. I didn't have them at my home last Christmas as it was too much with the kids moving out around that time.
We have lots of chatting to do and it will be great staying at the BnB. Lots of travelling too, but it will be good to see Trev's family. We haven't been down to Canberra in over 2 years!!! Covid has certainly squashed a lot of people's travels. Love Chris
