Not embroidery. When Sue/Spendlove came to visit earlier this year while on one of their travels she gave me this fabric. The fabric had belonged to her friend Scottie and was part of her huge stash and Sue passed half of the piece on to me. She intends to make some eye catching trousers from the rest. Anyway there was something about the fabric but I couldn't remember what. Sue pointed out her bit of the fabric when we stayed with them recently and there was still something in my mind but I still couldn't recall what. On our way back home we stayed the night with my brother and his family. As I walked into their kitchen the 'something' became yes as there are curtains, cushion covers and a cloth made from this fabric. So I have made the fabric up into 6 napkins and I have put a edge on in a bright pink ribbon, but no embroidery. So thanks Sue for this fabric and I hope Scottie would have approved of what some of her stash has been turned into. Now we have to see if the trousers appear
