Having a stitchy time…

A sneak preview…
Just off the frame – Hidcote Blues. It seems an eternity ago now, but back at the beginning of June, at what turned out to be the start of a stunning summer, I travelled across the Cotswolds to visit Hidcote Manor, near Chipping Campden. It was one of those amazing June days, early enough in…
