Oh Mabel, what a pretty photo of you both! That's one to treasure.
How wonderful to be able to share your love of stitching together.

Do you manage to see her very often? It is great when you get on with your MIL, mine was a treasure, we got on like a house on fire.

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
I quite like the contrast of what you're wearing. The light versus dark. it's like two forces coming together for the greater good

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
Rosemary, not as often as we'd like, they live way down in east Devon so we can't just go over for the day. But we'll be seeing them in May again, and they will be spending Christmas with us, and hopefully a visit in between.

That's a lovely photo of you two, Mabel! It's nice to have stitching in common with your MIL!

Colyton -- though only for the last 20-odd years. I think they're a Hampshire family originally.

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
Oh man, this is almost making me cry. My grandmother passed before we could stitch together. Such a beautiful moment there. I'm glad you have a MIL you can cherish!
Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
What a wonderful photo! I'm in agreement, I wouldn't have been able to resist the photot opportunity either.

What a lovely photo, I still miss my MIL, she died 25 years ago whilst I was pregnant with our youngest child so she never got to meet her. She was a darling and my best friend.

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
What a great picture!
I'm lucky that I have a nice MIL too - she's a stitcher too. In fact, she's on this forum...

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
What a great snapshot!!!!
I never got on with my MIL it was so nice that we never lived very close. Christmas was the only time I really had to deal with her.

If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

Re: MILs aren't all bad :-)
What a nice picture! So nice to have a common hobby and interest with your MIL. Mine is great in that she loves to receive stitchy gifts, but she doesn't stitch herself.
