Climbing Roses + Embroidery Stitches

There are so many charming elements wrapped up in a single photo, right?

This handmade cloth needlework book illustrating embroidery stitches is truly a treasure and a work of love. I think this woman is the creator of this embroidery book.

Oh, that cottage! Oh, those roses!

What a treasure that embroidery book would be to pass down through generations.

Oh, that embroidery book! It even has some stitches I've never heard of. What fun it must have been to make that.

Yes to the house, and yes to the embroidery book. You don't find that kind of attention to detail anymore. So sweet.

What a precious cottage! I wouldn't change a thing. Even love the dog and the wooden ladder. The embroidery book reminded me of my paternal grandmother. Every day, she would work on embroidering. She always added her touch to linens, the bodices of my dresses (when I was a little girl), curtains, and aprons. I loved to watch her! She even tatted lace, and that took a lot of time, but it was so lovely. Great memories. Thank you, Rosemary!
