It sure it a beautiful piece, even before you cleaned it. I actually think the fading of the colors somewhat softened it up a bit and it will look great when you get it back in it's frame! And when you said you were not artistic, I have to beg to differ with you...you are most definitely an artist when it comes to those darling outfits! Art does not have to be about brushes and paint!

You definitely have an artistic bent, friend! ("Art" is more than drawing.) <br /><br />What a beautiful flower girl dress. Can't wait to see it on the flower girl! <br /><br />It was a great idea to restore the embroidery that you did for your mom. It will look lovely in your room and inspire warm memories too.Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-8875245017434868062017-09-20T15:35:01.615-07:002017-09-20T15:35:01.615-07:00Oh Debbie, Debbie, Debbie!

I used to do cross stitch but haven't in years. I'd definitely need some kind of super magnifier to try it now : ) Have a great day!

Some people actually age their work on purpose so that's what the browning looked like to me. The cleaned version looks muted and dreamy. <br /><br />The flower does perfectly complete the dress. Claire will be darling in it. And all the children will love their pjs.

I have a counted cross-stitch piece that my daughter did for me some 24 years ago that I have framed and hanging in one of my guest rooms. It is a true treasure. Good to visit with you today.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.com
