I recently offered a bunch of vintage embroidery patterns free for the taking. I was thrilled when Tizana (http://blogtizy.blogspot.com/) voiced an interest. I boxed up the embroidery patterns, which included a lot of Aunt Martha's patterns, and shipped them off to Italy. In return, Tizana generously send me these handmade linen gifts from Italy. This first piece is known as Assisi embroidery which is a form of counted-thread embroidery...I think this is just lovely! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisi_embroidery)
This next piece is a wonderful hand-crochet (by Tizanna) and linen pillow top that coordinates perfectly with the colors in our bedroom. It's almost like she knew what color we painted our walls! How fun!
The last bit of my gift was a beautiful vintage pillow cover with an inset of filet crochet.
Thank you again, Tizana! Again, that was a very generous and very special gift.
...women are the fruit of creation...
