My mother was a great stitcher of many things and I have several of her excellent pieces. It has always been my desire to make something with them, and one of the pieces I have long admired is a little detailed stitchery in wool on canvas - probably using a Danish pattern - as she liked the naturalistic style of those.
This pattern is probably a daisy or Bellis perennis to the afficionados! It is really sweet - too nice to stay in a drawer so I have made it into a needlebook! I can enjoy it and use it and think happy thoughts of mum!
If you are making something as a sample - why not make it into a little souvenir for someone you hold dear and give it to them to enjoy and use and hold dear in turn!

What a great idea SS. I don't have any treasures of that kind but love the thought. Will have to have a good look in my box of odds to see what can be salvaged and made good. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love that you give new live to something your mom obviously spent a lot of time working on. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have an unfinished embroidered tray cloth - wonder what I could do with the finished bits.
