Both you and your mother did a wonderful job. When your sister see it, you know she'll want it back. Thank you for sharing.
|
Wow you brought this back to life! What a wonderful story you shared too. Thanks.
|
What a treasure, now it will last even longer!!
|
Oh how precious to have something your mother made when she was 17. A treasure for sure and your quilting just made it better.
|
What a wonderful treasure, I'm sure you will treasure it always. My Mom embroidered when she had the time, but as a farmer's wife and mother of 7 children, there wasn't a lot of time. However, I have a set of pillow cases that she did, and even though some of the stitches are coming off, I treasure them, as she has been gone from us for a long time.

Awesome gift...Priceless...It looks wonderful...
|
What a treasure you have.
|
Your quilting really enhanced this embroidered project.
|
thanks for sharing this, you finished it off nicely!
|
It's amazing how the quilting really brings it to life. Just beautiful!
|
What a treasure!
|
So cool...great work....looks great....you just gave me an idea...I will be checking my mother's stuff..she used to do hand embroidery in Italy as a young girls...she has lots of sheets and pillow cases..
|
It is absolutely beautiful how you brought that embroidery and memories to life.
|
Great color choice for border and I love the quilting you did on it. Now, when your sister sees it, she will probably want it back.
|
Wow! You just brought it to life! That will make a fabulous heirloom.
