Rainy weekend

April showers have come early to our village so I am scratching around for something to embroider. For al ong time i have thoughts about embroidering a B/W portrait of my late Grandfather - but to be honest I am a little daunted by the task - what if it comes out awful. I have started in earnest by photocopy an old 1940's studio shot and tracing the outline with an iron-on pencil. I have cut out a scrap of cloth from an old table cloth and (if it turns out half decent) will frame it in the embroidery hoop for Dad. Here goes wish me luck.
