The Embroiderers Guild here in Stratford is the next in the region to celebrate 40 years. We are a small guild just 10 members, and it was decided to celebrate the occasion at the Regional Day we host in October rather than June when the anniversary would be and there was other things happening on the calendar. I decided to stitch one special gift to mark the occasion, my gift to the guild that would be a lucky draw at the gathering. I had done this several times before for the Coromandel guild and each time had made a set of needlework accessories, it make it special when you know what you have made will go to an embroiderer and hopefully will be used and treasured.
40 years is a Ruby Anniversary so I decided to do a favourite set of cross stitch design stitched in red this time. Finally finished yesterday I wonder if this might be the last time I attempt to stitch a set like this, have found age is catching up with me and although I have always thought of myself as a slow stitcher, I find I am now even slower, don’t work so well stitching for long periods of time and the complete set has taken far longer than planned.
