Tudor News, Jenny's Gracious Gifts

I've finished the first of my Catherine Parr needlepoint canvases. The stitched piece measures 4.5x6.75 inches.


I'm trying to decide how to finish her - a small cushion, a pillow, a bag? Hmmmmm……

I shared with you a few posts ago I joined the Tudor Society.  I've read every magazine - jam packed with history and background on people and places.  Absolutely enthralling.  I received the magnet set
with Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I and two of Elizabeth I.  The set wouldn't be complete without the Tudor Rose!
I also received a T-shirt.  Once the weather warms, I'll be sporting it around. (Side note: Both images courtesy of the Tudor Society).  OH!  And I was lucky to also be gifted with a book, "The Fall of Anny Boylen", by Claire Ridgeway.

Jenny of ELEFANTZ is having a generous 7 Days of Free Gifts.  Check it out here.
Keep yourself surrounded by stitches ~ Cheers ~

    Nice finish. I am very near to finishing a portrait of Elizabeth I and really need to just work on it! Aren't the Tudors an interesting bunch?

    What a fascinating interest, Kim! Must confess I have no Tudor knowledge at all.
    Your stitching is so neat & lovely... I'm sure you'll finish it up into something amazing
