Embroidery

A couple of years ago I was given a pile of ready to embroider tablecloths and a bag full of embroidery threads.  I made a start on one the other week and though it isn't something I have done before I am thoroughly enjoying the process.  Here is the tablecloth so far. I won't do a close up as it is very rustic    ahem, a bit patchy.  I will learn as I persevere and practice.

    Oh I love the red flowers Cherie.
    I remember my mother ordering great packs of table linens to embroider from an advert in a Sunday newspaper. I can't say as I ever remember her doing any of them and I wish I had them now.

      I love pretty linen and when I am proficient I plan to embroider some cotton bedsheets that I have

    I agree with Briony - looks excellent! And since you're enjoying it as well, it sounds like a win-win.
