I love your crochet Chrissie and only wish I had more time to devote myself to this wonderful craft, you always inspire me with your work. Well done on Tilly's pattern, I am afraid mine went a bit wonky and I didn't like the finished piece but yours is spectacular and is what I had in mind for me! You look stunning in it Chrissie - what a talent you are - your embroidery is just so lovely. I hope you are having a wonderful day Chrissie, sending you big hugs and loves, it is always a delight to visit you.
