I am feeling better today, much better, much, much better….With help from my sister we have got most of my to do list, done And managed to get a couple of rows of stitching done ( I stayed in bed and stitched while listening to the garden show on the radio.
On the top row I have added 2 more buttonhole stitch fill patterns for needlelace both done with size 5 cotton pearl thread.
And on the bottom row I celebrate International Womens Day, the first International Womens Day I can remember was about 1976 and I associate it with my mother who was visiting me in Canberra at the time, somewhere I still have some posters from the days events…I wrote the words on the fabric with a 2B pencil and stem stitched over the pencil line with 2 strands of cotton floss.

I think it’s so neat that you are not only making a stitch sampler, but a history sampler, too.
