red work

greenspun.com : LUSENET : barter board : One Thread

I have been looking for many years and cant find any of these so I was wondering if you all could tell me where I might get my hands on some or if a crafter would be willing to make me a set. my grandmother had a set of pillow shams done in red work one stated 'I SLEPT AND DREAMED THAT LIFE WAS BEAUTY' and the other one said 'I WOKE AND FOUND THAT LIFE WAS DUTY' they had a victorian lady on them on the one she was on a chase sleeping and on the other she was sweeping. I am doing my bedroom in red toile and these would be perfect framed over my bed. Ronda in wa

I don't have these but it brought back memories. My gramdmother had something like this that said, " It begins when you sink into his arms and ends with your arms in the sink." Funny how you remember these things.....

Tana that sounds like a cute verse it would be something you could write in a fancy script over your kitchen sink. ronda
