You would need to cross oceans and continents to get here Keith..I buy all when I see them and am making a hand stitched quilt out of them which will take years but I feel it honours all those women of the past who made them.
I have a chair and bench my grandmother embroidered and I still keep them proudly in my living room. It is sad it is not treasured when you think of the time, effort and love put into it.
Very nice, and very true.
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me feel sad when I see these unappreciated treasures being sold for a pittance.
ReplyDeleteYes. I do agree with you.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the shop? I'm on my way!
