My Mothers Needlework - a beautiful way to say 'Good Morning.'

Mums handwriting was an artform.  'Goodmorning' is a lovely example
of her writing.  So lovely to see it here embroidered  as a permanent record.

  

This handwork of my Mums is a lovely piece.  The intricate pocket for the serviette.  'Good Morning'
written by Mum and beautifully embroidered by hand.  An everlasting piece of her written word and her delicate embroidery.  A work of art.  Thankyou for your legacy, Mum a gift to me.

She is 92, and an amazing woman.

Sunday Afternoon Project

I found this 'throwover' in an op shop. The fabric is a pretty light green but it was very plain to look at. On Sunday afternoon I embroidered the two opposite corners with dragonflies.

One thing I have learnt is this....... its not about perfection!  These dragonflies are not perfect but I'm  happy with them. I also sewed a mother of pearl button in each corner.

Now I have a not so plain throwover which I have made my mark on and am happy to use.

What do you think of it?

( the photo does not show the pretty green colour that it is.)
