Overview

A white linen pillow sham with a 140mm edge consisting of two rows of hairpin crochet, the second creating a most unusual frilled edge with bobbles. It has a very basic white embroidery using backstich around the sham in a design of flower and leaf sprays and a triple feather stitch around the hem. Just inside the hem is a 5mm band of drawn thread work where several stitches are breaking apart.
