Many years ago ... probably 10 or even 15 these were a Round Robin and they have been in the drawer ever since.
I finally had some frames made and have now fully finished them. They are hanging in the conservatory. I might have Autumn and Spring charts somewhere but I have no immediate plans to do them too.
I stitched these years ago... yep more left in a drawer. I went off them as they do not start with capital letters but as I've stitched them it seems a shame not to show them so I had a small frame made to match my other monthly piece and I will change them each month too.
I have cut them to the frame size and used interfacing to back them so they don't fray. I keep them in a drawer between being in the frame so they are kept flat.
Why do I remember it so clearly 🤔
Because not only did Nick buy a ticket (and in my opinion win first prize 😉) but it was the start of our many adventures, the first being to Lynmouth which we revisited last week 🥰
We would never have guessed back then what a super family we'd have and how many memories we'd make ❤️
Here's our first kiss and recent reenactment with the hotel which is now apartments. I have put a few more photos on Facebook
I don't know where 40 years has gone but I do know I have lots of happy memories.

Love your stitched pieces, Clare! That is such a cute monthly series. And how wonderful that you remember the exact day that you met your husband. Wishing you many more happy, healthy years together!
What a sense of accomplishment to display old stitched pieces. I think your arrangement for monthly pieces is perfect.
How lovely to remember the first day you met your husband! doesnt life change when you meet the right person?
Great finishes, the frames are perfect for them.
I like changing out the frame too, less clutter! I haven't thought about the interfacing, I think I need to do that with my set.
Sweet photos, time does fly!
