Look what I have received today! All these were sent in exchange for the Valdani Threads. Thank you so much Bob. There are altogether 8 Workbasket booklets and 2 other books on quilting and needlework. I am amazed how he managed to keep them for so many years, some of the books are dated way back in 1969!! And there are threads he has included in the package too - a ball of lizbeth thread and others. Unfortunately could not find any stocking which is mentioned in his letter though.

Stourhead Gardens. Wiltshire
Painted the Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire from a newspaper clipping dated Nov 5, 2010. It was sent to me by my former boss. When he learnt that I was into watercolour art and have never ever seen Autumn season before, he sent me the newspaper cutting. How sweet of him! Took me awhile to master the orangey colours and glad that I managed to complete it and have it framed recently. Size is 33" x 22" with frame.
Celtic Crosses
Thanks to Ruth Perry's easy to follow instructions, I managed to complete 2 Celtic Crosses using different coloured threads. The crosses were tatted using size 20 crochet yarn.
new threads
They are from left to right: Valdani Hand Dyed Variegated 540yds 35wt Sunny Forest-V 105, Fuchsia Garden-M 72, Golden Rust-V4 and Iris Petals-M 18.
