Queen of the World Cross Stitch and More

Thanks to Covid-19 and staying home a lot I will soon be finished my Teresa Gil Queen of the World cross stitch. Today I will start on the beading on the skirt. Yesterday I stitched the crown, had to send to America for the silver thread as I couldn't find it anywhere in Australia.

Was sure I had given up collecting aprons then this one came up for sale. Can't resist fully hand embroidered ladies or kookaburras.

Already had the sugar bowl, milk jug and one plate in my collection then saw cup saucer and plate for sale, hope one day to have the full tea set. It's from the cancelled royal visit to Australia in 1949. Princess Margaret was coming too but the king became ill and had to cancel.

When I moved to my new address I joined a new craft group. This is a very colourful  and warm coat made by a member. You can see the sleeves are a work in progress.

 Very disappointed in Harry and Meghan and didn't want to read these books but of course curiosity got the better of me and I had to buy them. The library does not have these books.
