I didn't give up - news from Portugal

I have had health problems, some surgeries that prevented me from finishing my patchwork. Perhaps in late September I will be able to finish it. I'm counting on it!




my dog's name =faísca= spark







Good embroidery for all;)
I love all the stitch and patch that you publish here!
Congratulations to everybody:)

Oh my goodness I have just seen this embroidery and love it, I know it was a long time ago but I would love to get the pattern of the lady and her dog sitting in a chair, that is just like me. Do you know where I can get it. Many thanks Christina
