Inspiration: Embroidered autographs

September 16, 2009 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

autoJanna of Mustard Seeds blog shares a great project idea for any heritage-minded stitcher. She says,

While gathering heirlooms for my grandfather’s 90th birthday celebration, we came across this little peachy blouse that was embroidered by grandmother when she was 19…My grandmother had all her school friends and family members sign the shirt and then embroidered over each name. Incredible. It’s kind of an embroidered yearbook, if you will.

Brilliant! And priceless. See the post for more details and photos.
