Forgetmenots

DSCF1634

Some early spring pickings are making their way into the house. And I made these needlebooks the other day. I used pieces of old embroidered linen that had seen better days. The pages are wool felt of various colours, and the books tie with brown cords.

I'm happy to have found a way to use the linen pieces that were not being appreciated at the bottom of a basket.

    I love your use of old embroidered linens. I have some unfinished embroidered pillowcases that were stitched by my great grandmother lying in an old work basket of hers. This might be just the thing to do to give them life.

    How pretty! I bought an embroidered tablecloth in a charity shop last week, but am still working out what to make with it. It is really huge.
