Still working on the Whispering Hearts! A few vintage pearls make such a difference on the lace heart!
The old rayon embroidered lace this heart is made from came from an old slip, made years ago by an adopted Grandmother of mine. I love incorporating bits that trigger wonderful memories into my stitching!
I found little heart shapes in the eyelet lace I used to weave the background. A little accenting with pale pink embroidery thread makes them stand out!
Another day of stitching and I think this piece might be finished!

I almost don't want it to be finished, I love watching the progress! So enjoyed the wonderful family picture a couple of posts ago.
This is very very very pretty and yes "vintage" like my dear! LOVELY!!!
Beautiful and precious with memory pieces added. Love it!
I love hearts and lace and all the things you incorporate into such wonderful and unique pieces. I know you will be having your surgery done soon and I wanted you to know I haven't forgotten and I will be looking forward to positive, healing results. Mary
That gold heart took my breath away!
