Thanks Cheryll for having us on Friday....
I had a lovely day at the Embroidery show - such stunning work and I was so overwhelmed with the blackwork and crewelwork and stumpwork and everything else work....
The afternoon was spent at a local event supporting and encouraging local food and drink businesses - gin, and beer, and burgers, and home made jams etc.
Friday night was spent stitching...
I finished off this bed of Bells of Ireland...
... and started this bed of Ranunculus (which was finished last night)
Yesterday some quilting, and sewing, and gardening, and sorting in the house......
Today is Fathers Day and off out for brunch with youngest daughter who has to do everything for us since she is the only one nearby (family joke)
Keep safe and well everyone,
Righto, Gotta Go... coffee cup is empty. Hubz is outside roasting a fresh batch of beans.

Enjoy your brunch, Fiona! Lovely embroidery......just imagine doing a lot of that to decorate clothing, as was done in past years.
Good job with your embroidery...love watching this work grow...
Thanks for stopping in for FnwF too...xox
Happy Sunday! Loving the blackwork.
Poor local daughter - such responsibility!
Beautiful stitching Fiona, enjoy your day.
Loving your beautiful needlework. I hope you enjoyed your brunch as it is extra special being able to go out.
Love your blackwork. I'm learning the names of flowers with this project. Enjoy the freshly roasted coffee. ;^)
Busy busy busy !!!!!
Your blackwork (pretty coloured work) is beautiful...
Great to have had two lovely outings over the weekend..
Do you remember Maree.....she had a work in the embroidery show........a waratah done on black fabric...........looks three dimensional........she just got it finished in time.......would have been lovely to see all the fine works.......
Quite an eventful time for you. Good to see the afternoon of drinking did not interfere with stitching.. Best of both worlds.
It must have been lovely to actually visit a show and it seems to have inspired you to keep working on your black work.
