Thank you. I'm not sure tbh. It's simple design belies the amount of work that went into it. Partly my own fault. Initially I embroidered the English wording. It looked fantastic but as it was a block font it took three days for the machine to complete. I thought, hang that for a laugh so decided to appliqué the yellow. I snagged a letter with my iron. I had suspected it was kind of impractical anyway but banishing my suspicions I had gloried on anyway! I had the most brilliant fun unpicking every last embroidery stitch - not! At one point thought - bin - but I'm so thrawn, I had to see it through to its conclusion. The quilting took what seemed like forever to do.

Who hos knows one day you might get to see the real thing in the flesh. Never say never!
