Let's head downstairs!
You might be thinking, "Ah! Downstairs to the Studio! One of your mom's quilts or bags!" Many of those would sure fit the challenge, but I wanted to show you something extra special that we haven't shown you before!
I had Mom place it gently on the stairs so we could all take a look:

It's our dad's dad's Ukrainian shirt! It has an intricate pattern of cross stitch and embroidery on it - take a closer look:

Love the designs. Reminds me of my school days during sewing lessons. Of course mine was not as lovely as yours.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful workmanship and someone must be super talented to do such fine work. Have a super Saturday.

Absolutely beautiful, and very intricate. Most impressive embroidery talent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a PERFECT choice... It is BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shirt! When I was in high school and college, I was really into folk dancing-and had several blouses that were intricately embroidered. I wonder if he got it on a trip or if it is a family heirloom.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
