I think most of us have friends who we only see occasionally, and swap Christmas cards with every year, writing the same message year in, year out: "Hope to catch up with you in the new Year!" Well, one of my 'occasional' friends always pops a little surprise in with her Christmas card to me, and this year it was this beautiful handkie with my initial embroidered on it! This friend doesn't have a computer, so it is no use me thanking her publicly here, as she will never see it! But I still wanted to put it on my blog as an example of old fashioned embroidered handkerchief.
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.
