Maybe because that would be my speed...simple ;) Some pieces need that extra touch though, with more stitches, fuller designs, and some do the job with simplistic loveliness.<br /><br />Where do you find these beauties?! I agree, the crocheted edged pillowcase will make a guest quite welcomed with sweet dreams. And the table scarf is...ooooo...such a favorite for me. I can imagine it in a sunny room with a cool breeze gently blowing the curtains in the window. Thank you for sharing these. <br /><br />I'm going back to take another peek.<br /><br />Hugs, Marianne xo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268529800904221520.post-20623391117280220882013-03-20T06:19:13.714-07:002013-03-20T06:19:13.714-07:00I always do simple -- just don't have the pati...I always do simple -- just don't have the patience for more than that. And I lose focus when a project takes days and weeks. I really like the simplicity of the simple stitches and one color as in the pink hearts. I have some pillowcases that one of my best friend's grandmother made -- she quilted and did handicrafts well into her 90's even though she lost most of her sight. Your embroidery work is so very beautiful but sometimes a simple little project is just what you need. Your simple of course would still be totally awesome.

I'm still working on the stained runner; winter work was just too much this year.<br /><br />I love the little embroidered lady! I have one old pillowcase where the skirt of the lady is crocheted and the rest embroidered.

This is such a tourist/antique shop area that those pieces always end up in the shops with out of my budget prices.<br /><br />You have a lovely collection. Reminds me of the embroidery that seemed to be on all of our pillow cases and dresser scarves when I was growing up...O, all lace dresser scarves were big in our house too!<br /><br />Have a great day.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268529800904221520.post-17249432298936094172013-03-19T02:29:25.552-07:002013-03-19T02:29:25.552-07:00Everything is just beautiful!
