Another “Friend Finish”

 Last night I finished this very pink sampler for my friend.   The date on the chart is 1995.   I think I told you all before that this friend has some very old UFO’s!

Anyway it looks good and distracted me from the storm outside.   Our region was put under a Red Weather Warning and it was a restless night listening to the rain and wind.   I worried that the roof would blow off.   But no major damage except to my garden.   And this afternoon it is dry and blue sky but still a ferocious wind.

And I’m back working on my Blackwork Box.   I had already stitched this but came to a disastrous halt with the construction so decided to start again and follow my own common sense in the construction method.   Just as well I had plenty of the linen (32 count French Lace) and the floss (Silk n Colors -Finnegan’s Fog).  I’m rather enjoying this as stitching with so silk is so satisfying.

Meanwhile I’m dreaming as to what I will do next.   There are still four more Friend Finishes in the cupboard, and decisions to be made about colours for my Hardanger Table Cloth.
