Then and Now
Mom had a favorite pattern for embroidery. These flowers were done in numerous colors. Mom gave me these embroidered pillow cases in the late 1980s. I crocheted and attached the edging for them. They indeed were special. Not long after I did the crocheting, working with threads became difficult for my hands. In today’s world, within my stashes were two pair of white pillow cases that Mom had ready to embroider on, but it didn’t come into fruition. My project was to make use of these from a time long gone. Within the green checked shopping bag that my Crazy 8 quilt is still resting in, is the quilt that will match the border fabric I used on Mom’s made ready pillowcase. We are getting closer to letting the quilt out of the bag. After I have these pillow cases ready to go, I have been working on getting the binding ready for the 100″ x 100″ Crazy 8 blue quilt.
