More beautiful pieces ...

The back cloths are just as beautiful as their front covers.

And yet more ...

Gotta love this cotton backing cloth with it's lines of running stitches and patches.

And row upon row of stitching still.

I am in genuine awe of the work involved in these cloths. I sound like a cracked record but have to pinch myself that these are mine each time I show someone.
