This is an embroidery I made to hang in our village church in memory of a lovely lady from our village who died recently. She had been Sunday School teacher and Church Warden for over 60 years and although she had no children of her own, all the children knew her as "Auntie Joyce." I'm new to machine embroidery and this is the first "proper" project I've done!

I live in East Riding of Yorkshire - to the east of the city of Hull and right on the bank of the Humber estuary. When most people think of Yorkshire they think of the West Riding with its pretty Dales and wild Moors; here it's rolling farmland and wide open flat land reclaimed from the sea, but we have the beautiful Yorkshire coast as a bonus!

Dave, so you have been around for a while - you need to post more often. Hehehe!

I have a second-hand Janome Memory Craft 5700 and I used the Customiser 2000 Easy Edit that came with it; as you can see, I didn't get the floral cross centred properly so I added a bit of extra foliage on the right to balance the image! I did the text first and I didn't fancy having to start all over again!

She was, very special, and a great loss to us all, although at 83 it shouldn't have been such a shock. She was fit and very active until the end which was a great blessing. This memorial was the very least I could do.
