LOVE this! It reminds me of one of my very first embroidery projects that my Granny did with me when I was but 5 or 6 years old. We embroidered pillowcases that I still have. Hers were perfect; mine weren't and I TREASURE them! She taught me to love a needle & thread.
Martha, I, too, have pillowcases that my grandmother hand embroidered YEARS ago that look very much like these! Such a timeless & charming design.
I want to congratulate you on reaching 100+ followers! Your giveaway is a very creative & generous idea & I know someone will be able to produce spectacular outfits with all those wonderful items. I did not enter mostly because there are far more talented seamstresses who deserve & need that book & will do it justice. I am getting a kick out of reading their responses. :-)
Welcome, I am so glad you chose to leave a comment. I love getting comments, questions and even just a friendly hello. I may not respond to every comment, but rest assured I read them all. Sometimes the comments and questions fuel new posts. So comment away!
It is sweet! And what a lot of work. It reminds me of the patterns I used to embroider as a child.
ReplyDeleteMy 86-year-old mother still embroiders pillowcases similar to this - except without the bullions!
