Embroidered Pillowcase Giveaway and Morning Snow

To begin today`s post I want to tell you about a Pillowcase Giveaway my friend Marilyn is having on her blog Our Victorian Cottage. Marilyn expertly embroiders pillowcases and finishes them with lovely crochet embroidery. This is a fabulous giveaway. Please visit her blog and take a look. You won`t be disappointed.

We had a late night/early morning snow. It was beautiful, damp and bitterly cold. The sun melted most of the snow by late afternoon. There is a promise of warmer weather tomorrow. Total accumulation was about 1 1/2 inches.

Thank you for visiting. Homemade chile for supper tonight with fresh warm bread. Have a nice week!

Latest Project and A Giveaway

First we`ll  talk about the Giveaway.  Dani at Eagles Wings is offering wonderful  cookbooks and just the sweetest hand sewn tags I have seen! It is easy to enter and I recommend a visit. She has a fabulous blog too. The Giveaway closes 30 September.

This is a very old dresser scarf and if you look closely you can see that the cotton fabric is falling apart right up to the embroidery. I want to preserve the embroidery for display, frame it perhaps. Would any of my knowledgeable readers have ideas on how to save what is left of the fabric and the embroidery.  It is very fragile, but I don`t want to put it away in a drawer. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know I love collecting hand work from long ago.

Thank you,
Cathy
