from the Happy Recycler. The fiend had several vintage embroidery transfer packets and magazines all bundled for the compactor when I swooped in and scooped them up. Hey, I'm all for recycling, but be sure what little time capsules and snippets of history you're getting rid of . Well, we all got home safe and sound.
Summer has found a wonderful new space on this vintage hand-tatted edged pink linen hankie.
She's pretty in pink
green and yellow Colombine, blue Bachelor Button, Orange Zinnia. Little lavender Asters, Fern Fronds, and Leaves fill out the 'Garden Party Dress' .
Here are some close-ups of my hand-embroidered fashion statement for Summer.
Ahhh, but wait,,,,,,,, Summer still has some surprises to show you.
Remember, Summer is the first in my newest 4 Season Pillow Creations. She will be available for sale on my website and blog. Custom orders are always welcome too.

O creative one, I am blooming with Summer!
GIVE ME RED RIBBON
Give me red ribbon to tie in my hair,
Not yellow or purple or green;
But burgundy, chestnut, carmine or rose—
These are the colors with sheen!
Give me red ribbon to tie in my hair,
Not saffron or opal or blue;
But fuchsia, magenta, ruby or blush—
Something of sanguinous hue!
Give me red ribbon to tie in my hair,
Not indigo, azure or grey;
But scarlet, vermilion, dahlia or pink—
Colors like these make my day!

I have several pieces of this type work I did many years ago. I use mine most everyday. You do really nice work and will be something to hand down to the next generation.
How pretty she is, with her floral skirt!
I love the colors you are using! I admire your talent!
So glad that you saved Summer from meeting her demise. Your embroidery sure did bring her back to life. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you find that old engine to put by your hubbys garage.
Oh Melody, that is just beautiful! You did a fantastic job! So pretty! Thank you for joining TTF and have a wonderful day!
I'm delighted with the array of colors she wears! Still can't wait to see the end product!
