Pink Saturday


Saturday, my favorite day of the week, because it is pink Saturday. Beverly from http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ is the host of this weekly event. It is fun to find something pink every week to show, but I love visiting other blogs who do this pink Saturday as well. Beverly has a list on her blog and every week there are more participants.

Today I want to show something I started stitching many many years ago. It is a big square tablecloth and to tell you the truth I finished it only a short time ago.. So here it is.
Now I am going to visit other blogs and I try to see as many as I can during this day.
Hope to see you next week and happy pink Saturday.

Riet,

Oh, I love that table cloth...I helped my Oma stitch a similar one when I first started learning to stitch when I was about 10 years old. She took one corner of the table cloth, while I stitched at another. What a nice memory you had me think of...

Jeanne said...

Riet, your table cloth is gorgeous. I can see why it took a long time to finish it. Beautiful work. I enlarged it to see more detail. I know you are happy it is finished. I once took 7 years to finish a needle point owl. lol.

Hugs...Jeanne
