Fast forward to Christmas 2015. We just has a Christmas dinner Dec. 14, 2014. The subject came up in thinking to
gone by Christmases. My Mother In Law -named Grace was a very gracious hostess who enjoyed nothing morethan serving many guests. After many dinners came the
clean up and she always would say-"Many hands make
light work". I would like to embroider this on a dishtowel
with many hands done in an outline stitch. I guess you
could say I'm looking for hands. I would like to do a
dozen to give out next Christmas to the younger generation after dinner. Maybe if I start in Jan. I could
be finished by Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays-Maureen

What a great idea and if you do suggest it to Embroidery Library as suggested below and they do produce "A many hands makes light work" embroidery please let us know, just in case we miss the email from them. :-)
1941Great idea. This has bought back a memory for me. Many years ago when our kids were young I put my hand on the light switch and got them to put their hands one by one on top of mine. I turned the light on then I said "many hands make light work". I think they got the message. LOL. Hugs Marg

62461You could make a request to Embroidery Library ! What I think would look good is , a large hand and inside it a smaller hand and so forth! It would have the feeling of generations. Good luck
