What a steal for just $1.99!! Embroidery Work like that is absolutely beautiful and getting harder and harder to find.

that work is just amazing,
I can't believe that women had time to sit and do such amazing detailed needlework back then.
I have tried it, I am best at the primitive style.
It can be all crazy and its okay, my eyes have gone too much to do something like this.
JUST WOW!

SO VERY PRETTY! AND GREAT PICS...HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND WONDERFUL FRIEND!
Isn't it amazing how much detail these old linens have? So much time and love has been invested in them and they are usually sold for a song. I think that it's wonderful when they fall into the hands of someone who truly appreciates them!!! Just looking at them makes me want to embroider again too ~ hugs and love, Dawn
WOW, that work is stunning! So lucky you have it!
Oh, don't I wish I embroidered. I tried but nothing like this ever was produced.
Gail, these are amazing. I love French knots and not because they are called French, lol
