Many years ago the Semco Craft company sold a 114 x 114cm linen tablecloth kit with the willow pattern on it ready for crewel embroidery. It came with the machine made lace, all threads and instructions. Kit #1282
Over the years I have added a few more stitches and today I have finally finished the embroidery. Below are pictures of my work. Remember to click on the thumbnail pictures to see the full versions.
     
Now I need to decide how to edge it. The kit came with machine made cotton lace but I am considering crochet or bobbin lace that I make - should it be in one or two shades of blue - or cream or.....

It has taken me a while but I have finally started to make the edging. It is a simple Torchon pattern in bobbin lace that is being made with Perle 16 DMC cotton in the two shades of blue from the sewings.
