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.

Embroidered Doyley holder
I've mentioned my blog friend Sylvia here before. She collects Royal memorabilia, and I've added a few small pieces to her collection recently, for which she swaps some of her embroidered items. The Coronation hair pins I mentioned in the previous post attracted Sylvia's attention, and we arranged a swap. I think I got the better bargain, and she thinks she does, so it was another very satisfactory exchange. She sent me this gorgeous embroidered "Doyley" holder:
I hadn't found this blog last time I visited, just the Apron one ...just wondering if you got the green vase back?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I just love things like this. Gina, you asked on my embroidery blog about the wonderful linens you sent to me? Yes, I love them all and have embroidered a couple of them. I am in the middle of designing for a book proposal and have slowed down on stitching a little, but still love to stitch in the wee late hours. Thanks you for those lovely linens. blessings,Kathleen
