A few months ago a friend gave me a pillowcase kit, the kit had thread and two printed pillowcases. During the heatwave it was just too hot to knit so I started the embroidery of the pillowcase number one.
Its a nice cotton material although its a lot more work than it looks, I'm using two strands of embroidery silk, its very fine work. with a lot of detail.
This picture was taken a few weeks ago so there's a little more done.
I will update my progress as I carry on, its a bit slow at the moment

Very pretty Margaret.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was about ten years old I loved to embroider pillow cases and handkerchiefs. Now I am 72 and still embroidering and painting :)
My Mom loves those kits and I love having her embroidered pillow cases. :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love embroidered pillowcases!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Anyone who has done any embroidery knows it’s a lot of work there.
