Just a rough take of the inside of the sewing case. Still have some ends to tie up or sew up! This project will be in our spring issue. I’m playing with the camera; still trying to master the aperture and shutter! The embroidery is just french knots, chain stitches and straight stitches. Pretty. I …
The article is much longer than this, so I thought I would post the part of her brother’s situation, for the full article go to the link in the previous post. “My brother, Phil Howard, was a missionary up in Northwest Territory in Canada. When he first went up there, he could not gain the …
