Once Upon a Time... 

Once upon a time...

   ..our grandmothers and great grandmothers lovingly created beautiful hand embroidered and appliquéd linens -table cloths, runners, pillow cases, and doilies. Today, few of us have the time for such pursuits, but we can still appreciate the work and artistry that went into them. Much of this lovely work survives, but it's often stained, frayed or slightly damaged, and is seldom used or displayed. In order to bring these old and vintage pieces back into the light of day, I have salvaged and restored the needlework as carefully as possible, and used it to embellish sun bonnets for our daughter. From the generations of our past, for the generation of our future.....
