Embroidery


This is an embroidery from the 70's.This was done by my elder sister for my just then born son.
It was done with single strand Anchor thread.She is a lovely embroider and I preserved this piece
to give it to my grandson,who is expected this July.Despite the passage thirty years I still find the finish intact
and the design contemporary.This only proves our point that hand embroidery as an art is 'Timeless' and can be appreciated at any day.This is a driving force for me to keep doing something that we can leave behind which can speak about our love for the art,and it can outlive us.

This is really sweet. I agree with you that embroidery is timeless and should be appreciated for the work that goes into it, whether it be yesterday or 50 years ago.
