Hello Lovelies :-)
And welcome to Angela of Cottage Magpie (here) and to my Mum and Dad
who are new followers.
I had a fabulous surprise on Saturday when the postman made his delivery....
...a package from my mum :-)
Thanks so much Mum xx
I have no memories of this project and I would love to know if it was before my time or when i was very young.
Mum has always been a crafter of all sorts but I cannot remember seeing her crochet except for when mum taught me as a teenager.
So here it is...
...and some closeups of those tiny wee stitches...
...and the matching thread plus a yummy yellow ombre one (you know how i have a thing about yellow at the moment!)...
The ecru is...
Shade 609, dyelot N564
I don't think Coats produce cotton thread like this anymore.
I think I may make another cushion to go with the cushion I'm going to make with this.
Maybe I'll use it with the yellow fabric...
I know...another excuse to play!
(Oh, I nearly forgot....the pattern is lost but I may be able to figure it out.)
I will, of course, show you what the outcome is but it might be a little while as I am trying to finish the hand quilting on the vintage hexie quilt.
I'm making good progress.

Thank you all for your comments and emails on my last two posts :-)
I wasn't happy with how the last post turned out...
I was stressing over it and pushed myself to publish it in the early hours one morning
....not a good move as it caused me even more stress later that day when I realised it didn't read the way i had intended..
Oops!
Thanks for bearing with me.
