Gifts from France

Today I received a package from Jonquil.   What a wonderful surprise when I opened it.
 
 
All these little items are destined for an "upstairs" room in Netherton.   The detail is just amazing.   How all these tiny stitches are created is just a mystery to me.   I am in awe of your skill, Jonquil!
 
 
The first item is a little shawl.   I love the little scalloped edge and the detail is continued on the back.
 
 
The second item is a little silk bag - how DID you make these tassels? 


Thirdly, a pillow with white embroidered detail to the right.   The fabric is really soft and it's made in such a way as to be placed in a very realistic manner.


Thank you so much Jonquil, I love them all and really appreciate the time taken to create this little gift for me.
