This dresser scarf was an awesome project--because it was 80% done when I pulled it out of the bag. I fished some almost-matching floss out of my stash of embroidery thread, and dove right in.

Beautiful. Don't know if you're aware Anna but that style of embroidery is typical vintage 1930s Deco influenced. I have some tablecloths, tray cloths etc embroidered by my granny's aunties in that very same style :) Angela
That is beautiful! I used to do work like that but I got to where I could not see the cloth to do the work. With the new glasses, I might consider doing it again.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Very Beautiful!
Love it! I pick up things like that at thrift stores all the time and use them around my house. Keep up the good work.
