While doing some cleaning and downsizing I found the blank that my older daughter had done candlewicking embroidery on when she was a teenager. She is now 42 years old. I quilted it and finished this as a table runner for her. I put the lable on it so that maybe one day she can pass it down to one of her sons, and they will know that both Mom, and Gramma worked on this as a labor of love. Isn't it remarkable what we pack away and find years later?

How wonderful that u saved it all this time. It makes a fine heirloom to pass on. *

Lovely

lovely, *4U

Seems like you've both done a wonderful job....great heirloom.

it's lovely

Yes it is and this is very precious for you and them

How lovely, you'll just hv to use it next Xmas

This looks great, both of you did a good job. I am sure it will become a family heirloom.

Great work...

I love it. Very Pretty!

Your daughter did a great job on her candlewicking. I tried it one time and didn't like it.

that's fantastic! I know it will be loved through the years! Aren't you glad you kept it!! My daughter made some Christmas napkins when she was about 10 in the Girl Scouts. They really weren't too good...but we STILL use them every Christmas when all the family gets here (She'll be 40 in June!) and we laught & remember HER granny that helped her that year!

What a nice heirloom...

It is Dionna but not all 'pack-a-ways' end up with such a useful outcome. Ingenuity is what it's called :-) :-)

Beth, this is lovley and what a great gift and also a legacy for one of the sons. This is remarkable.

What a great job you did. Your daughter is very lucky to have a Mom like you.

excellent!!! what a find.. both you and your daughter should be very proud of this.. well done the 2 of you

This is lovely and you are a wonderful mom to finish it for your daughter most moms would have said do you want this.you should finish this.
Great work.

What a FABULOUS Find!!!! You are a good Mom and this is just lovely.;)

Thank you - when I told my daughter about it she asked me if she did a good job, because if she didn't then she did not want it. what a little stinker!
