2024 - Another beautiful finish from Wanda! I love the lettering on this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created some custom charts for Simon Danks (added the same celtic border to both designs) and he has stitched the Chess and Backgammon. I particularly like the colour scheme he has used for the Backgammon.

On the backgammon board he stitched in the word "home" and a number of crosses below each point so that the players can remember how to set up the board at the start of the game and which direction to play in!

He made them up with fabric backing, along with a simple bag for keeping all of the pieces in and then another bag to carry everything as a travel games set  for his daughter and son in law. What a brilliant Christmas gift!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wanda has had a really busy stitching year in 2023 - here is her lovely stitch of the owl. Can't wait to see what she does in 2024!
