I have a dear friend who has just moved from her house to an old age home. Rosemary will be 90 very soon. I have racked my brains to think of a special present as she has everything she needs. Her little house meant everything to her as she and her husband lived there for many years. I found an ink drawing of a card she had once sent me. I sent it to Vicki (basketkase) to see if she could do something. This is what Vicki did. It has made my heart sing it is so incredible. Thank you Vicki.
My picture of the finished product does not do it justice.I just cannot wait to give it to Rosemary, I know she will burst into tears. The first picture is the finished towel and the other is the card I sent to Vicki. I have just added the name of the house.

She is going to be thrilled. I embroidered a little towel for her some years ago. It still sits on the back of one of her chairs
