Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Dear Lounge Lizards! I have two little mug rugs here who have itchy feet and want to travel. Are you the right Lizard to adopt one of them? They are 'Chrismassy with a Lorchen Twist'.

Jane, I do all embroidery by hand. One of my grandmother's taught me when I was about 6 or 7, much to the disgust of my mother, who thought needlework was a total waste of time. I'm very grateful to my grandmother. She was a very stern lady who must have found it very difficult that her only grandchild was a little tomboy with quite a lot of attitude. But every time I pick up needle and thread, it's thanks to her patience and perseverance. Her needlework was so much superior to anything I'm able to do. Just have a look at a piece of Hardanger work she made when she was just a teenager. My father's family was part Danish, and so the Scandinavian influence comes through.

I have to admit that I used to teach Elizabethan Blackwork about 30 years ago or so. I really need to get out some of my work and take pictures....... Well, I'll surely get around to that when I eventually retire.

Lorchen, Your grandmother's work is absolutely stunning. It's incredibly beautiful. I haven't been getting mug rug notices nor is it coming up when I check new posts. I've checked everyday and I am just now reading posts from 10/19. It's surprising I haven't been having symptoms of withdrawal.

Beautiful Mug Rugs everyone.

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	What a nice mug rug, Marilyn. The redwork really stands out beautifully against the white and the binding really pulls everything nicely together. Good job, Charae!
