First completed Neighbourhood
This is Veronica's stitching of the last 2 block on Su's NRR, it has been finished for a few weeks now but is only just on it's way to Su. We waited for the weather to brighten up a bit to do the photos seen as it was finished well ahead of time.The block on the far right is a Pub in Su's neighbourhood and it looks very much like a real one in her actual village in Cumbria. The basis of the design is from a book by Jane Greenoff adapted by Veronica with little extas, it has a beer- garden to the front and a pond area outside.
The block to the left is a cumbrian house with railings made of wrought iron as this is something that Mark makes. This design idea was taken from a row of houses that were in a recent edition of Country Cross-Stitch magazine. All of the threads were DMC with colours Veronica chose, to make it look like where Susan lives and has added little details of things close to Su's heart like the greenhouse and bee hives and there is a little snail a robin and 2 blackbirds. There are ducks and sheep and a cat for Tasha the Pub has even got a name...The Cross Keys which used to be an old haunt of Susans when she still lived at home :)
Below you can see the whole Neighbourhood finished and I think you will all agree that it looks pretty amazing.

Veronica has asked me to say that she has thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this RR and is a bit sad it is coming to an end as you have all been such a great bunch of ladies to do this with...saying that she is very much looking forward to seeing the finished result of her own and all of your other lovely neighbourhoods :)
Happy stitching!!
