When DH and I were in Ireland last fall, we spent a night at a bed & breakfast outside Trim, northwest of Dublin. For you movie buffs and/or Mel Gibson fans, portions of the movie Braveheart were filmed at Trim Castle. Our room was lovely, with lace curtains and pink wallpaper -- a little girly for DH's taste, but I thought it was charming. My attention was caught by two pieces of embroidery, framed and hanging on the wall.
They were so pretty. If you look closely, you can see a name and date penciled in the bottom left of each one. I questioned our hostess about these and she told me they had been stitched by her mother-in-law. I thought it was neat that she displayed them for others to enjoy.
I've been making a little progress on Beneath the Sunlit Sky. I'm really liking this piece.
Stay warm...hoping everyone has a great week! Happy stitching!

So sweet about the embroideries in your room in Ireland. They look so pretty! Love your stitching too!
You're right the two pieces are really pretty. The piece that you are working on is really pretty too.
