Crinoline Ladies Nos. 5 & 6

 

Crinoline Lady No. 4

This design has a flying bird. I looked at my embroidery thread... and chose a pale, variegated, metallic pastel spool, thinking to make it look like a shimmering dove.

What I made is, in fact, a flying unicorn. A flying, sparkly, pastel-striped unicorn. 🤣

No, I won’t be picking out the threads. Fortuitously (and fortunately), Violet, who loves unicorns, will be delighted.

Embroidery of Crinoline Ladies Begun

 One Crinoline Lady down, five more to go. Isn't it cute?  The center panel with its border is done; the next border will include the Crinoline Ladies.

 Here are the handkerchiefs I have for Violet's quilt. There are 20 of them. They are not vintage; they are brand-new. They measure 10½" square.
