Images of Embroidering
Almost as much as I enjoy looking at embroidery, I enjoy images of people embroidering. It's such a graceful and peaceful-looking gesture...
Are you feeling that, too? Mmhm. Can't wait until work is over, can find a quiet moment to yourself, no disturbances...

Going back even further, I absolutely love “stitchin’ pictures” from 1700 and 1800’s. They always seem to portray such a sense of peace & friendship!

I have a few vintage needle books that I’ve framed. So pretty!!

The needle books brought back memories. My mom had several in her sewing box.
The pics are great!! Can’t wait to get home, put on my comfy clothes, put my feet up, get out my stitching, and listen to some Billy Holiday!!!! Pure Heaven.
