I wish I could see the entire finished mirror surround, don't you? Oh, the power of a woman with a needle!

Oh, my! The HOURS that must have gone into this piece! To think that young girls were always taught the basics (at least) of stitchery. That doesn't happen anymore, does it? A simply gorgeous piece of embroidery. Thanks for sharing, Rosemary.
Oh, fer hevins' sake...that's ridiculously beautfiul!
Mama Pea and Gail -- My grandmother was a very good needle worker. She completed a Crewel bedspread that was beautiful. She said they got the spelling wrong, it should have been Cruel Embroidery. Smile.
xo, Rosemary
