A while back I found this piece of pale pink linen- I think it was probably a placemat in a past life. It had a good weight to it, and an embroidered woven pattern worked around the edge in dark grey and white. Like I did back here, I got inspired by the previous stitches on this linen and worked on it a little more- this time in dark grey thread and an allover pattern of branches and crosses. Kind of like a childhood treasure map.

    Every time I see any of your embroidery work I want to drop everything and pick up my needle and embroidery floss. Too bad I have to make supper. πŸ˜‰ I love your little needle cases!
