Embroidery is wonderful therapy…

My great aunt, Gran and mother were great dressmakers, my aunt a corsetier, but their true passion was embroidery,

Wonderful to have a life in stitches…

I noticed almost immediately that I need to do a little repair ha ha

This was a gift in the 90’s, I was thrilled to receive it. A designer that created a stir…

For the last goodness knows how long it’s been in a box.

Am I motivated to do a little embroidery? No
But I’m loving discovering my past in a box…

Beautiful embroidery

It's beautiful!

I do a lot of cross stitch but very little other needlework. One of my friends has an embroidery kit business, and I have some of her kits waiting... but I never seem to do them! I think I'm a bit intimidated by them, lol!

So lovely. I have a few things embroidered by my mum - I love them to bits, as I think of her hands making them when I used the items - a pin cushion and a sewing case.

Really a beautiful memory and keepsake. How nice you have uncovered it at long last. Keep it where you can admire it from time to time.

A gift that needs to be used. It's lovely.

I love embroidery...always have. When in my 20's, I would cross the border into Tijuana, Mexico to buy embroidered tops and dresses. I still buy and wear embroidered clothing. :)

What a lovely little coin purse! I embroidered for a little bit in the 80's but then photography took over.
