Jane Austen Says

I made this rope handled tray at a Bunnings Ladies Day workshop.  Tara Brown from Better Homes and Gardens was a guest,  showing us how to make them.
I decided that my cross stitch piece would make it into a nice decorative tray.
It is a pattern by "The Sampler Girl"

Key Ring Finish

I started this last year and have now completed this cute Scottie Dog . Pattern by Textile Heritage

Sharing My Tapestries

 I started these in the 1980's and got them framed quite a few years later.
They hang in our living room.
They remind me of the diversity  and beauty of the Australian flora.
