What a beautiful card! Just right and not over sentimental. The colours and the wording are perfect!
I'm sure it will be well received.

Thank you all for your kind words -- I just hope it will be helpful, and a reminder when they do need something that we are there to help.

Today is my last stitching group until after the summer holiday (we break up early this year) :-( so I wanted to finish the goody bags to show; and I managed to finish them this morning! Here they are:

The series of twelve is complete :dance: :dance: -- pics at the end of this post, but first a bit of waffle :-)

Because the three sets of four have definitely become a series of twelve, I thought I'd do a bit of renaming. So Mabel's Fancies proudly presents:

A Round Dozen

consisting of Round the Year, Round the Clock, and Round the World.

I've grown rather fond of this series, and so I've put on a special offer for Cross Stitch Forum members here.

Oh, and here's the last instalment, East (and a close-up of my own invention, the Chinese Lantern stitch :-))

Mabel,
these are just gorgeous. :applesauce: :applesauce: I would get them in a skinny minute, but I think I need to go to England and get classes in how to do this. I just love them. I think I would be happy doing HAED's and your patterns forever. (Neither of which I have ever done of course).

So, I will just admire them from afar for now.

The whole series looks great Mabel :) How long will you run your special offer for? I definitely want to get them, but need to wait for pay day :)

Can't wait to see what's next on your stitch list :)

Those bags are beautiful, Mabel. I think the thought that went into making that card for your friends is fantastic. I always struggle to find the words for situations like these. I'm sure that with their faith, that will be a great comfort.
