Almost....

Yes, my white wrapping cloth is ALMOST finished!!!  A few minutes ago I put the last embroidery stitch into the body of it and now it's on to the border embellishment and the backing.  I'm excited to see it finished (not because I want it to end, but because I want to SEE it!!).  I have had soooooo much enjoyment out of the making of this cloth and can't wait to start the next one.  I won't mention the fact that I probably have enough white goodies to draw from to make at least a half a dozen more - no, I won't. 



Sorry about the pictures appearing to be blue but, trust me, they ARE white.  In the picture above you can see a lovely little embroidered flower section - they were done by my maternal grandmother, probably in the late 1950's.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
