The embroidery is exquisite, and I'm thrilled by the way the lace
perfectly complements the embroidered motifs. Do you know, would the
designer of the embroidery have purposely set out to achieve this
effect? --that is, did the selection of the lace precede the designing
of the pillowcase? I know you couldn't say for sure of course! but was
such a practice customary?

Hi,
As i promissed yesterday, i wanted to let you se the wonderfull 18th
century pillow case i got as a gift:
http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/pillowcase.htm
It needs washing, but ill waite a little with this. Thoaght about
using destilled water, and soap flakes. How about ironing after the
wash, shouldnt i use a thick towel on the front of the embroidery and
iron on the back? As it is the finest linnen you can imagine, i
suppose i should be carefull with the ironing...........
I think i want to frame the pillow case, and hang it where no sun will
harm it.
