She died in 1962 and I finished it in the early 1980s. Granny and Mum had bought the same tablecloth from a woman's magazine back in the day. Mum finished hers but when her mother died, she packed the unfinished work away. It moved to Canada with us.<br /><br />I still use it every December.50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-49033831500029360062016-10-22T09:59:10.430+01:002016-10-22T09:59:10.430+01:00They are beautiful.

I do hope you find someone who can complete the skilful work which has already been done. Not me, unfortunately - I can just about stitch on a button!

I am afraid I stick to cross stitch, chain stitch, outline stitch and back stitching nothing as complicated as what the previous embroiderer did.<br /><br />Hope you find someone.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-84090824919222746552016-10-21T19:41:45.517+01:002016-10-21T19:41:45.517+01:00No good for me I can't do that sort of thing,c...No good for me I can't do that sort of thing,could you use the first one as a cushion panel?Simple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-7598761380323413702016-10-21T19:34:14.725+01:002016-10-21T19:34:14.725+01:00Thank you for that, Catriona.Thank you for that, Catriona.Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-15061666033797691912016-10-21T19:10:02.907+01:002016-10-21T19:10:02.907+01:00St Anne's Embroiderers Guild has the most ama...St Anne's Embroiderers Guild has the most amazingly talented needlewomen I have ever met. They have a website or could be contacted through Camilla at Bizzie Fingers. I was lucky enough to spend a day with them as a guest back in July and I learned so much from that day.
