Shauna's mother saved her mother's linens for years and years. After her mother passed away, Shauna has slowly gone through her things and has decided to part with some of them. When I saw her recently in California, she gave me a large bag full of treasure.
I can't wait to get to work with these new elements. The second book is coming along very well, so I'll be able to venture forth into this new direction in a little while....
Thanks for stopping by! I know I've been rather piano lately.....

Such beautiful treasures - lucky you! I know you will find just the perfect project for them and I look forward to seeing them. I'm tapping my toes waiting for your next book - soooo excited for you!

Droooooling...It couldnt' have gone to a more talented receiver who will do it justice. GO RAVENS!!!
That is how I got into crazy quilting... I patched and embellished vintage embroidered pieces and old lace. I am sending you a couple pictures... I have so much left I've been thinking of doing it again... Gerry
I am just going through my Mom's linens. Some came from my Grandmothers from both sides of the family. I also have my Mom's hand embroider wedding dress minus the most of the satin under the chiffon overlay with the embroidery.
My friend and I are going to examine the items and try to figure out ways to best use or display the item. I am sure you are happy to be blessed with a great friend who thought to share with you. Looking forward to see how you use them.
Ooooh, gorgeous lace treasures! What fun you'll have!
