this week i have been sewing pillow covers for my shop (yes the same shop that never seems ready to open:))
anyways i have to say this has been extremely enjoyable for me. i have purchased some linens from local flea markets and received old linens and now i am combining them with my own two cents, if you will.
taking apart old linen shams that still have that wonderful high quality to them but may have some old stubborn stains and reworking them back into new pillow covers without the stains. managing in some cases to still have their original fabric covered buttons grace the backsides of my covers.
wondering who S is, that stitched her letter delicately at the end of her work.
and who was it that hand stitched their crotchet work to their flawless embroidery, would they mind that i had picked their piece out of big old pile and saw that with some mending it could once again be proudly displayed in someone's home.
would they mind that i thought some hearts added to their small lovely piece would make someone smile
