Margaret’s Needlework

Margaret has been busy with her embroidery and doll making.  As you can see she has done some really nice work.  I  like the colors and the life and movement in these bell pulls.  They are ‘older’ patterns  she has sewn before as gifts, but, these she will be keeping  for herself. 


This  ‘critter is a lamb.   I think.   And, I believe she is a ballerina, she has a tu-tu and toe shoes on anyway.    Margaret made this  for Johanna. 

Margaret made a frog backpack for Tessa . I will have to get Tessa to bring it from home so I can post a picture of it here.  It is a wonderful little creature.

A Christmas Present

 My grandniece, Jo, made this beautiful hankie for me.  Margaret is teaching her needlework and how to sew.  Both she and her twin sister, Tessa,  are quick studies and Margaret is very excited to have some young ones to teach and to share her passion with.  I just love the gift because you can tell she gave it thought,  she could not have picked a better subject for her Aunt Mary's gift.  She did a wonderful job of it too!  She is well on her way to developing a life long talent that will bring her much joy.  Good for you, Johonna!
 Thank you!
