sew-in-love with embroidery

This is the pillow that we received on our wedding day from my Aunt Anna Mae. Her work is exquisite.

I would stay on their farm every summer and she, with needle-in-hand, taught me how to embroider. Thus began my love affair with embroidery.

Now go back 4 decades and this is my baby quilt embroidered by the same aunt who made the pillow top for our wedding.

The stitches have traveled in time from her hands into my heart.

A set of matching pillow cases with intricate embroidery. Purchased from the thrift store.

I have such a passion for this type of embroidery work.


This quilt was also purchased in the $1.49 bin at the thrift store. The embroidery is so miniscule and the hand-quilting has survived the many hands & years that have touched it.

Yup.....sew-in-love with embroidery.
