I am always at a loss to know what to give my MIL and stepchildren for Christmas. When I saw the stitchout that Katulle digitised for Noah this gave me the idea. Thanks to Katulle I have this to give them this year. Have to make 4 of them and each one takes almost 4 hours to stitch out. I have finished 2. It is of my Late Husband John.

You might want to put in a pack of tissues when you wrap these up. Great gift idea.

I am not so lucky. Guess I have to keep the Test one. Colours are a little different. MIL is 96 next June so I am hoping that I can have that one again one day.

I met John when I was 18. Not interested in each other and went off and married others and got back together in 1984. The best years of my life with the special man.

A true love story.

Not sure how it would come out on black, you would have to make some other colours a bit lighter, worth a try

Don't cry too much into the machine - I don't think tears are covered for rust damage. It brought tears to my eyes to read this.

How wonderful of you to do this for the
