The last time we were in the Lake District a couple of years ago we visited the  Quaker Museum in Kendal.    I was so captivated by the magnificent and beautiful embroideries they had created and sewn, that we spent the whole day there and enjoyed lunch in their tiny tea room.    I bought a crewel embroidery kit of Bramley Hare to rekindle my sewing interest and to remind me of such a wonderful day.    But, as they say, life got in the way with work and other commitments that it never get started.    Now that I have more time (in theory but not in practice) I have decided that this will be my next project to pick up and sew at my leisure.   I'll probably have a dozen more things that I will be doing in the meantime so it will probably take another couple of years to complete, but it will be relaxing to do and enjoyable anyway.
