Happy Birthday Katharine
Have a really good day Katharine. I hope it is not as wet on Snowdon as it is here today.

Happy Birthday "Auntie Kate" - that's how I first knew of you, from Jo of course!
Hope you're having a good one.

Re: Happy Birthday Katharine
Thank you all - yes I am having a day off - in fact I have the rare luxury of two consecutive days off in August. Yesterday was our Ruby Wedding - where have all the years gone! Today we are going to Llanidloes to see a quilt exhibition.

Re: Happy Birthday Katharine
How marvellous! Did you manage to see the one at the V & A in the summer? My daughter went down to London for a couple of days just to see it. Visitors were only allowed an hour each, but she said it was well worth it, especially as my 3 yr.old grand-daughter was quite entranced by the patterns and colours. She behaved perfectly for the entire hour!Katharine wrote: Today we are going to Llanidloes to see a quilt exhibition.
Anyway, I hope your exhibition gives you joy & inspiration, Katharine

Re: Happy Birthday Katharine
.......... and congratulations on your Ruby Wedding. Perhaps it is time to design another cross stitch sampler!
(I am still pondering on the idea of JR being an 'opposite sex poster' - there has to be a joke there somewhere!!)

Happy Birthday Katharine. (It's Joe's 85th tomorrow, and our Ruby Wedding the following day) Hope your weather's better than ours.

Re: Happy Birthday Katharine
We have had mixed weather a lovely early evening drive home along the coast from Tywyn north to us. It really is beautiful. Maggie, Congratulations to you and Joe, and Happy Birthday, or even Penblwydd Hapus to him (just Happy Birthday in Welsh!)
Frances, this is the kind of embroidery I do most nowadays. http://www.form-a-lines.com/forum/album ... ic_id=4153 This was a commission for a friend, she couldn't come to dinner with us last night as she had a far more long standing invitation than a mere 40 years - her Mum's 100th birthday!

Re: Happy Birthday Katharine
I loved the 100th embroidery thing, Katharine; so simple and uncluttered-looking, although I suspect that is deceptive in terms of the actual effort that went into it. Sadly, not having a creative bone in my body, I restrict myself to reproducing other people's cross stitch charts. Actually I haven't done any for ages - I keep meaning to get back to it but getting side-tracked by 'more important' things like grandchildren and computer genealogy (I have just added a new great-nephew to the family tree)! Glad you had a good birthday and anniversary anyway.
