A gift from Pereksta cousins in Slovakia during our visit there in 1990. The cloth is put over the basket of Easter foods that is taken to the church on Holy Saturday to be blessed.
Well, I would tell everyone to be sure and click on the photo and see that amazing stitching up real close! That is beautiful and makes me want to do some cross stitch again.
That is beautiful! Is the stitching hand done??
ReplyDeleteIt is, Carol. If I remember correctly (distinctly possible that I don't) it was done by one of my Aunt Nascia's family.
DeleteOK, now I have stitching envy! :-) It is lovely, do you use it for purpose stated, or something else rather special?
DeleteOnly Easter, though I might use it for a baptism or first communion if the occasion arose.
