Rhonda, what a lucky girl you are. Your pillow shams remind me very much of the kind of traditional sewing I found in Thailand. At the time, I was only able to buy a few small samples that I thing were pocket flaps originally, and I had them framed. Everyone who sees them admires the skill that it took to make them.

Doing this help my applicaing skills tremendously and it makes me very appreciative of the family's like Cha Mee's that help our soldiers in Vietnam.

Yes it is and it is the first time I have ever seen it! I was blown away at the precision and the technique and time involved!

The pillow shams were made by the Hmong ladies. They do beautiful work! And yes I like to think she likes me a bit now and then! LOL I am so glad she thought of me when she decided to pass these along!
