The last corner is the mauve lady. But wait - have another look! I have scanned the back of it this time, just to give you an idea of how perfect the stitching is!

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.

beautiful Gina,
Seeing these lovely old embroideries makes me want to do some
You do get some lovely finds on ebay..
I agree Gina!
It makes me appreciate all the more,supper cloths done for me by a favourite aunt for my 21st and engagement presents.
They're both still in constant use and,yes,they're crinoline ladies!
I would love to know how to be that tidy with my stitches. I'm forever trying to keep the back side of my work neat.
That is impressive all right. Beautiful work.
Love these Gina! And that is the BACK of the mauve one?? THUD!
Thanks for sharing them!
