Here's the front - I used all sorts of vintage 'bits' that belonged to family members, both from our side and from my d-i-love's family too.
The back used a lovely family heirloom that was
embroidered by my d-i-love's grandmother
and was used in their family whenever anyone
was celebrating a birthday.
I didn't have the heart to cut into it, so
decided that it would be a perfect backing.
The doily in the centre and the piece on the
right was also from that same grandmother.
And here's another view.
It was delivered to our #1 son
and daughter-in-love on Monday, so
now they have the fun of trying to find
someplace to put it
(perhaps under the cat?)
Today the quote is from the ever-present 'Anonymous'.... "We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence"
oh i sure hope it's far away from the cat. they must be over the moon with a gift like that. you did a fabulous job.

This truly a one of a kind. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of them having an embroidered piece that was brought out with each birthday celebration....what memories that one piece holds. Think of all the stories this White Cloth #2 holds. The gift is beautiful and so very thoughtful. Nice work, my friend.
