memories...

This is what I am currently working on...Holly Hobbie...I remember what seems like 100 years ago having HH bed sheets, wall decor, and even a jewellery box...This finished piece will become part of a cushion with some sweet calico as a backing...


What are you currently working on?

Putting on a cup of tea and checking out some lovely new blogs I have discovered....Have a wonderful day!

  4. I embroidered a very similar pattern in the 70's for my niece. I remember that I liked stitching the apron (each little patch different). Love it!

  5. Thank You for stopping by! I loved stitching this, it was a nice take-a-long project for the cottage porch this summer.:)

  6. Oh, this is gorgeous! Your stitches are beautiful. I had the HH bedsheets, too, when I was a little girl...maybe even curtains...and books, too. Ah, such sweet memories!

  7. Thanks for visiting my blog! What a coincidence, I pinned your Holly Hobbie yesterday and today you visit! I liked Holly Hobbie and had the cutest peasant blouse I wore that my mom had sewn for me! Plus I have two little dolls! Please come back and hear my story!

    1. Hi Paula! Actually I found, visited and commented on your blog a few days ago. It is through you that I found Kristi! :) Thank you for your sweet comments, I look forward to the friendships I hope to make.
      I still have my HH dolls as well, but the bedsheets sadly are long gone. I look forward to following along with you.
