Hubby & I have been married 18 years in two weeks time. I was 18 1/2 when I met him but I won't say how old I was when we married. That'll give away too much information!!!! :-)
The tapestry that appears on this post was stitched by my Grandmother for our wedding present. The same Grandma whom I stitched the Russian Blue for. Grandma also stitched this tablecloth.
The tapestry depicts scenes that I love having spent my childhood on the farm with the cows and sheep and all that entails.
It hangs above our fireplace in the lounge room. I love this tapestry. I remember Grandma trying to teach me how to do this when I was a young girl...... I would get the first row right, start the next row and have the stitches going in the opposite direction!! lols.
I have chosen to post this for a couple of reasons today. One was to show you what a wonderful stitcher my Grandma is. The second is Grandma is back in hospital at the moment. She has been in and out a little bit lately. Started off with a gall bladder infection. Put her on antibiotics, watched her for a couple of days then sent her home as she was improving. Finished the antibiotics, in severe pain so back to hospital. The infection has now spread to her pancreas.
Once they have all of the infections cleared up, they will operate to remove the gall bladder.
Grandma has already survived a major operation this year when they removed a blood clot from between her skull and her brain. I am sure she will survive this one with flying colours as well!!!

What beautiful work your Grandma does! I hope she recovers quickly!
Your grandma's work is lovely. Those trees are so Australian to me. I see your interest in Diana Gabaldon's book. I saw it for sale today when I was in Chapters. The blurb on the fly leaf sounds great. I must put it on reserve at the library.
