I planned to make five embroidered pillowcases for Christmas gifts for various people -- two sets of two pillowcases, and then one single case. It was neat how the Lord provided that single pillowcase. Many years ago, an elderly friend who loved embroidery and other needlework passed away. Her husband gave me her embroidery supplies and several unfinished projects. This pillowcase was one of them.
The only problem was that there was no floss included with this case. By going through some of the other items, I found the pinks that she had used, but no green. By painstakingly matching what she had done with a DMC color card that I have, I managed to come pretty close.
The finished project came out really well, and I know the recipient will be pleased!
So pretty and special that you were able to match the color. Don't those vintage pillow cases feel so soothing? Love the title of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, vintage pillow cases do feel so soothing. I had quite a few of them that we have used over the years. Sadly, they do wear out over time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the blog title. I hope to post here more often as we get closer to Christmas. Meanwhile, you might enjoy browsing the archives for ideas and recipes. Stop in anytime...
