Easter Gifts

These beautiful little egg cosies
were given to me some years ago
by MrM's mother, my lovely mother-in-law.

They are exquisitely embroidered
with minute chain stitch
on the finest silk and soft satin
and lined with thin felt.

I know nothing about them
but I guess they are Victorian.

The colours are still bright
because they have not been used
and have been carefully packed away.

All that love making them to delight somebody
and they are still being admired now, years later.

You are making your legacy,
you clever, crafty ladies
as you knit and sew.
