So sorry, don't know why it didn't work first time around:
"I Could not go to my parents that live in Switzerland without bringing them something special. So, in the space of one and a half months before we left from Melbourne to see them, I embroidered frames and roses (12 blocks), matching the colour of the embr. roses with the roses on the main fabric (curtain fabric without the backing!), did the patchwork and stitched the front, wadding and backing together. I used the "Classic rose garland" from the "Floral Illusions" and the "Gilt frame Corner 1" from the "Golden Classic Collection" from Sue Box. And yes, my mother loved it. Don't know about my dad!? ... ha.. Mary"

Dear Shirlene, I was sooo keen on showing you my projects, you asked me yesterday. It will take a long time though to reach to your expertise. So sorry, yes, I had to leave it there... was tempted to bring it back... ha.. Hugs, Mary
