As you might remember, the inside cover of our new book had, as a special bonus, a full colour chart for you to stitch a replica of the gorgeous Dorothy Ward band sampler of 1687, which you can see pictured here. If you want to be ready to stitch this lovely sampler when the book arrives, Traditional Stitches are doing a special kit of all you need.

And yes, somehow in all the excitement of The Wedding, I forgot May Day. I was fixated on Kate's lovely bouquet of Lily of the Valley, which grows prolifically in our dell here. My daughter came over and made me a cake - complete with a little tied bouquet of sugared Lily of the Valley. (By the way, Lily of the Valley or Muguet des Bois is the traditional flower for May 1st in France.)
