I am amazed at all the embroidery  my Grandmother (Lily Fricker) created for her home.  She was a great needlewoman and knitter.  I seem to have quite a collection of her embroidery, mainly table linen.  this is a detail from a nightdress case.  I love the fresh Spring colours.  See those little blue flowers...they are made up of dozens of French Knots (for those of you with an embroidery repertoire)  Looking at this I am inspired to take up the needle again, but don't hold your breath waiting to see the results.
