CATHERINE OF ARAGON

Catherine of Aragon is finished, and now I am going back to finish Henry. I so much like doing these ladies. Thanks Angela for the "middle bits". You can see
on this part of the pattern, one of the symbols I will be doing.
After Henry is finished, I am going to try to make myself do some of the symbols. We shall see if I can stick to that idea. Today, Heidi read the biography of Catherine while talking on Skype.
Just incase you think I really do nothing but stitch, I will tell you about my day.
We went out to breakfast, I talked to Heidi on Skype, pulled weeds and helped cut the grass, and did laundry. After that, I went shopping to buy items for the soldiers in Iraq in Mitch's company. My friends have donated money toward the package. I will feature it when I get it all together. Kristen gave me the list of things to send.

    Wow, this is a stunning piece of needlework Nancy! I'm going to go pull weeds in just a few minutes so I can plant some wildflower seeds.

    Great job mother! It is good that you are going back to Henry as you would have to wait until I am back again on Sunday to read the next wife. Who is next by the way???

    I have almost finished packing and have two projects to take to the cottage to finish ~ a quilt and a piece of stitching. Who knows...maybe I will have them done on Sunday. :)

    My mother pulling weeds? We needed pictures of that event. LOL!

    Love and hugs ~
    Heidi

    Hello Nancy,

    First of all: you get a little paw from Lea. Maybe you didn't see her, but she did hear you! (Did I tell you she is blind?) I suppose she was in the garden when you visited us.
    Catherine is a very handsome lady, that lion looks dangerous by the way! Good luck with king Henry.

    Can you have a rest now? You had quite a programme!
    Hugs, Carolien

    This piece looks better every time I see it.
    You are one lightening fast stitcher Nancy.
    You may not have been a stitcher for long but you have come a long way in a very short space of time.
