Embroidered pillowcases

LOVE this embroidered pillowcase by Tessa... This one inspired by a Schiele drawing. Another  - inspired by EastEnders Dot Cotton - (no pun intended) on her blog...
Keen Stitch blog readers will remember our previous pillowcases...which included this one...

Words for the pillowcase

My daughter's great friend Tessa has taken up the embroidered word theme this Christmas and embroidered a pillowcase for her parents as a present. It looks brilliant - the opening lines of The Go-Between (L.P .Hartley).
So ....first lines and closing lines of novels on pillowcases - a project for the New Year?

Embroidery from the train

Taking out the Christmas wrapping paper box discover a forgotten piece of embroidery packed away by accident. Dating from the summer when I had an obsession with embroidering words on fabric - a way of whiling away the hours up and down to Cornwall on the train.
Think the small words work well - have done some pillowcases as Christmas presents with much larger patterns (and not lines from Dante's Inferno! but more cheerful thoughts...)
But small seems best in this context.
