Souvenir from a Friend in Paris

A lovely present fell in my postbox today made by Catherine , it is gorgeous mon amie, I treasure your wonderfully stitched wallet, it is stitched over one with old rose colour thread, the black cartouche is printed on the linen, so original.


The linen where the wallet is lying on is Gander linen and 50 count or thereabouts, I will have to get my magnifier out!! it is so fine, but feels gorgeous.  She also send me natural Gander linen too, I feel so terribly spoiled, Thank you Catherine.

What a wonderful gift to receive. I an't imagine stitching anything on 50 count fabric, but it makes the piece look wonderful.
