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.

Lee Ann's contribution to my linen collection.
I finally started photographing all my goodies today, but some of the photos aren't as clear as I'd like. I haven't got time to do them all again, so I apologise for the lack of clarity, but you'll get the picture generally (excuse the pun...)
Starting with some single doilies:
Sandwich doiley with budgie.
As I scroll down through these, I think of women's lives and how many...who put hours of thier life into these stitchings and are now gone on into eternity. Leaving behind thier legacy's of needlework...and I hope, thier faith also. These are so pretty...what a fabulous collection you have Gina!
Wow, there are some amazing pieces. I especially love the butterflies, and some of them have an art deco feel about them. You are a lucky lady :-)
