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.)

A very nice gift. I hope you have a nice trip - De Keukenhof opens end of this month.I hope we'll get some spring weather soon, at the moment all that shows is crocuses and snowdrops. But the website shows some lovely pictures from last year http://www.keukenhof.nl/

I 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
