There were kitty cats, pink lambs and many beautiful ladies with crocheted skirts. After my mother died, we found close to 40 of them in a linen closet. We had no idea they were still in existence. Many of the pillowcases were rotted or torn, so we started cutting off the pillowcase above the designs and framing them. I have around 15hanging in my house - a grouping of 4 above my bed, some hanging in the bathrooms and even above doors. They truly are a treasure and make me think of my grandmother and the love she stitched in each of these. I love them.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270323832716742160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-90931863134274482472010-05-26T12:56:22.303-05:002010-05-26T12:56:22.303-05:00How beautiful your White Wednesday entries are, Je...How beautiful your White Wednesday entries are, Jeannie! I can remember my grandmother doing handwork just like these on pillowcases. I so wish I would have taken the time to learn it all from her. I did learn to crochet at an early age & have since paid big bucks to teachers to learn how to smock & picture smock & do shadow work, too. I wish I could do it better!Rettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-90124729224110469232010-05-26T10:48:38.831-05:002010-05-26T10:48:38.831-05:00Beautiful!
