My hazel has been flowering for 2 months now. I took a picture and digitised this cross stitch design and made a cover for a small notebook (again).

Campanula. Another addition to my springflowers (and to my notebook covers). It stitches in 7 minutes. I used cotton embroidery thread (DMC and Anchor) from the early 70s when I did a lot of freehand machine embroidery. It has a nice mat shine and

Guest towel. I just had to try out how the cross stitch designs would sew on towelling. The stitches are made so that the back looks just as nice as the front - a feature of the program, not due to any effort by me. So I used wss at the back an
