Some goodies from a friend......

Before I show these pretty pieces, let me first apologize that I've not been able to keep up with all of your blogs lately. I just checked my blog reader and I am hopelessly behind.......too much going on with trying to sift through what needs to be done regarding restoring our house to "normal" after the tree incident. I doubt we'll be back to "normal" until about mid-September....will do more of an update on this in a day or two (once I have full details). So...now onto my pretty goodies.......

Ev, my non-sewing and non-blogging friend from Michigan sent me a package that contained these nicely embroidered linens. I can tell the smaller flowers were done by hand. The larger flowers (on the bigger linen piece) are appliqued onto the fabric and either they were done by machine or else someone had a very exacting hand with the needle. No matter how they were made, I really love them. Thanks, Ev!!! I will treasure these as they were such a nice surprise from you and I appreciate your thinking of me when you discovered these.
