I love what you did with the dresser scarf. It is like someone else said, a work of art now. I did this same thing months ago with old pieces of my mom's she had embroidered. (I showed it on the board.)
It made it so much nicer and will now last longer. I am so glad others are doing the same thing. I have a few more to do, hopefully this year. I am trying to elevate my skills before I finish those. Your quilting is so much nicer than what I did.
