15022You do beautiful work. I did some of these birds a zillion years ago. I did love to hand embroider and do counted cross stitch when my fingers still worked like they should.

I used to cross stitch too, can't see well enough to do any more. Know what you mean about the fingers.

2754I love these beautifully done. Hand work can't be beat. I love the machine but hand work wins.
86901I purchased this set some years ago and made a set of flour sack towel for my MOM and they really do have the look and feel of hand stitched embroidery. She won't use them because she says they are part of her finery's,Just for looks:) .
Thanks for sharing.

My mom was the same way. She had old Silver Dust Detergent towels still new when she passed. Miss her everyday. The memories are wonderful. I thank her for teaching me embroidery and the art of sewing.
