Needlework-5



This is a piece that my great-grandmother stitched. The frame I believe was made by my grandfather. The second photo is what my mom has hung from this frame. It is the christening gown and bonnet that my sisters and I wore. Also, there is the bonnet that my grandmother wore 112 years ago. My mom was always so great about keeping and preserving heirlooms. I realized that this one photo covers several of the themes on here, but I'll just use the one.
