gift in the mail

Look what arrived in the mail for me today!

Elaine was having a clean out of her bookshelves and decided that her copy of “White Work Embroidery” by Barbara Dawson, was surplus to her needs. She asked me if I’d like it. Being familiar with the book, but not sure if I owned it already, I had to check my bookshelves. No, as it turned out, I didn’t have it. “Yes, Elaine, I’d love a copy, thank you!”

It arrived today. It is an excellent survey of whitework embroidery and lace. While some of the book looks dated, and it’s only in black and white, it is a great resource to have.

Thank you Elaine, for your generous gift to me!
