This is the apron I received as part of Toni's Vintage Swap. The stitching is sensational!

Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Wow! what type of stitching did they use to fill in the dress and all so perfectly? Oh the things you have in your collection that are 'showpieces'....how fantastic!
lovely - you are very lucky !!
Maggie ann, the dress is all done in stem (or outline) stitch, row after row, very close together. It must have taken not hours, but weeks of work. As I said, I have three or four other aprons done like that, and I marvel over each one. I just wish I could have met the person who did them.
Oh Me! Oh my!
