Past project

I have been crafting for as long as I can remember, since the 80's, but most of my work has been given away as presents and I did not keep a photographic record or the photographs are buried in a box somewhere. Here is a project that I did for my father's birthday four years ago. It is a combination of counted cross stitch, patchwork and quilting. The cross stitch design is Australian gum blossoms and leaves; the border was a fabric from my stash with gum leaves. I thought this would be a good design for Dad because he now lives in Germany and it would remind him of Australia.
