I’m looking forward to seeing your photos from the church visit. I do hope it is open, and that the light is good enough for you to be able to get good shots. I have enjoyed the bits of Wimbledon I’ve managed to catch ( sick granddaughter to care for 🙄 so time was not my own!) and my husband has been getting up very early to catch all the football World Cup games. I’d usually be backing England, but after that laser incident I won’t be sorry if they loose! Aren’t some people idiots!

Some pieces took her months to finish. I've started a collection of pieces to go with her gifts to me, purchasing framed X stitch at antique stores and thrift shops when I see something I know took many loving hours to create. Yours is all the lovelier because it's a pattern you've designed.
