Tudor Rose Calendars
Before Christmas we were learning our skills of cross stitch and transferring these skills by making Tudor Roses identifying the combination of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rose.

What fantastic achievement
We were so proud of the final result


different shades of red made the rose look real
We persevered....................


Definitely kept going to the bitter end!
So many hours...................


so many colours........................
so many stitches............................


so much patience.......................
lots of help at home, too....................


such a relief.....................
no more frustration.................


mine has the rustic look!
I'm going to keep mine forever...............


Such joy!
sheer delight..............


we will look at them all year

..............and longer
More photos to follow when they are finished!
