Magic Stitches

Well, I was full of despair, but Tracy managed to transform my ruffled feathers! How does she do it with half a dozen well placed stitches? So I am back on track and now starting all the small feathers with vivid spots in the middle. I have a busy few weeks before going off to Scotland for four weeks, so what doesn't get done in the next week or so will have to wait. I hate breaking off in the middle of things but there really is no choice - a slate frame is a frightening bit of kit to move about.
