As its the end of one year and the start of a new, I always stitch Mark a love token, this year I chose to stitch I love Thee by Ruth Ann Russell, from the February 2001 JCS magazine. Its stitched 1/1 on 28ct evenweave, I lined the back with red silk and trimmed using red silk ribbon and gold twist, I edged the end of the twist with beads. I stitched it using the gold Kaalund silk thread I have in my stash.
I have also been stitching on my next Seasonal exchange which is Winter and have that finished almost ready to send and I have also been stitching on my last SBEBB exchange which is the Valentine exchange and I am so pleased with how that has come out.
I was very excited when the new TGoS came out this month and have already made a start on the elizabethan pocket I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and started on it last night.

Su, What a lovely token of your feelings for Mark. It's such a romantic design and you have stiched and finished it beautifully. I love the little red beads. Red is a very passionate colour you know...haha!
I'm sure Mark is thrilled with it.
