Voila!



Here is my very special folded book with The Stitches from my Mom!
Yesterday I showed you the Stitch Sampler and I have folded the long sampler into 6 pages covered with a piece of left-over linen. This linen is a bit stiff, so the binding became a bit bulky.


A small part of my very first UFO is on the outside so it finally comes to use after being stored away for more than 35 years...

Working with something made by my mom so many years ago, gives a very special feeling.
I hope this folded book with My Mom's Stitches will stay in the family for a long time. Hilde
