Australia sampler

My mother asked me if I could finish her Australia sampler. She was stitching this for my father, but she got a poor eyesight over the years. Of course I want to do that for the both of them!

I started working on the fish at the right. This is how far she got with it.

And now it’s almost finished. Luckily there’s no difference between our stitches.

This is the original pattern from the Dutch magazine Margriet.
