I was commenting on Vintage Thingie Thursday posts and I got to Golden Egg Vintage. Your old embroidery book is wonderful. I am thinking it would be a great way to teach my little granddaughter embroidery. Make a dolly apron out of gingham and then let her do the embroidery. Your blog is wonderful. I will have to start visiting you more often. geniegeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859526203919533287.post-58236502276605500112012-04-26T16:37:15.056-05:002012-04-26T16:37:15.056-05:00if only it were really so easy, my friend. love th...if only it were really so easy, my friend. love this book, what a treasure trove of information. embroidery is one art, i'd definitely love to learn.<br /><br />xo<br />mollybirdie bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106442145553795388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859526203919533287.post-47825233461689568352012-04-26T15:48:55.128-05:002012-04-26T15:48:55.128-05:00Hi Renee-
