A second set of pillowcases. These took much longer to embroider because they're heavily covered in "lace stitch", as Daisy calls satin stitch, because she can only remember that there's a fancy fabric involved in the name. I spent several happy hours working on them while sitting in on Clara's cellos lessons this last month. Nice memories stitched in.
And now they're on a guest bed waiting on an arrival . . . .
So she's coming tonight? I can hardly stand it.

I have to say she does look a bit like you - around the eyes, maybe?
Beautiful stitching, by the way.

Lovely! Some day I'm going to learn to embroider. I love working with the floss during cross-stitching.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful...enjoy your guest!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Anna.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit...we will be waiting to hear all about it!
IT is lovely and such a warm/special way to welcome a guest who is special too!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! I'd like to start on a couple of mine, but not until after Christmas, since I'm knee deep in knitting dishcloths for everyone, it seems.
ReplyDeleteHazel (what a lovely name!) is going to think she stepped into another world. In my world, my grandmother makes embroidered pillowcases like that, but everyone oohs and aaahs and no one dares use them. I'm so glad you use the pretty pillowcases.
ReplyDeleteYou do such beautiful work! They really are pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you picked. You're a lovely embroiderer.
ReplyDeletewow, so beautiful! i love embroidery. i need to pick it up again.
