There is quite a bit of personal "stuff" attached to this work. The linen cloth belonged to my grandmother, I painted it with neo-color crayons while in Russia last summer and ripped it to pieces. This spring I put it back together with the help of painted dryer sheets, silk organza, some free-hand machine embroidery and a lot of hand-stitching, a lot. Old linen is such a joy to hand stitch...

Well, I only guess about the difficulties , patience and time this fabric piece of art reqired! The process seems complicated to me, but the result is wonderful! Your grandmother's linen bloomed for a new life!:)
This is just beautiful. I love it. I'm glad that you found a use for the linen. I love to use linen for sewing projects, it sews so nicely.
Love the stitching on the flower center! I can't wait to see your work in person next month!!!! You'll forgive me if I fondle it, right?
This is wonderful, Natalya! Thanks for showing such beautiful detail pictures.
