My granddaughter’s Christmas present. Finished yesterday. Still has to be washed and pressed and then sent to Johannesburg to be framed. Georgie is a wild life fanatic and in December we are all going to Addo, which is an elephant park quite near us. So very excited as have not seen any family since last Christmas.

Thank you Chris. She will love it, I know. I just wish she was more interested in any type of sewing.

Sarah, this is absolutely Gorgeous! What a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime gift! She will treasure it forever. I can't believe4 she's old enough now to be so interested in wildlife! Amazing work!

Thank you Jan. Don’t forget living in Africa we are spoilt for wild life and it is part of our children’s growing up.

All the things Georgie loves, animals and you! I know she will keep it forever.
I have an apron that was my grandmothers although I don’t think she ever used it. I think it was a present to her and of course ‘too pretty to use’ was the mindset back then. I also have a bedspread quilt she made. It wasn’t made for me but given to me upon her death.

I have a beautiful tablecloth made by my grandmother. It is drawn thread work which you never see these days. I just love items that have been handed down

Oh, Sarah...it is magnificent...BUT, I don't see your name/initials or the date anywhere....I think you need to add that in a corner...

I did think about it but have decided to write on the back of the picture after it is framed. It has already gone to Johannesburg

I have to be honest and say that I did find the pattern in a x stitch book. I changed couple of things. Thank you so much for your lovely comment
