I found an interesting blog this morning. Laren's "The Needles Excellency" is a Historcally focused needlework blog. Be sure to scroll down to her WIP's and click on her Blackwork Shirt. Whoa! That is beautiful!
Thanks for the compliment. I am still working on it, but it's a slow process. I have estimated about 150 hours of work. But it is going to look good when it's done.
When I get a chance, I am going to pull out some of the embroidery transfers I inherited from my grandmother. I have been inspired by your lady and the kittens!
