Every year my cousin and I take our husbands on a holiday to where WE want to go. I always stitch her a "memory" item so as we are off to the Dutch bulb fields I have embroidered the 4 corners of a tablecloth and a toilet roll. The cloth designs came from Embroidery Library and stitched out perfectly, as always. The other windmill I'm almost sure came from Dainty Stitches and again, stitched out perfectly. I was so excited with the look of the cloth when the last one finished I forgot to put the date on so that's tomorrow's job. (The little purple dot is the air erasable pen I use place the designs.)
5218Lovely job, I hope you'll have a wonderfull time.
Greetings from the Netherlands

17488I love it, I made some of them for a Braderie in holland. My mother is going there to sell them. They realy all stitch out great. You have done a great job and now I know what to make off them. Hope you will love my country. I live in the north and not close to the "Keukenhof"but I think it will be nice there. Last year we spend a weekend at Egmond and you can walk through the fields there or rent a bike an see a little more. Hope you love it here, Yvonne
