The Unexpected Guest NEW!
Lady Ruby de Lyones was discussing a case with Private Investigator Laurence Lott, when her brother Roger unexpectedly turned up. He had just returned from Argentina . . .A blackwork design that tells a story, The Unexpected Guest is worked in black, two shades of grey with a touch of gold metallic. I wonder if they have worked out "who dunnit"? Design size: 11 x 12.9 inches on 14 count (use our handy calculator if you want to use a different fabric count)
