Hand Held Embroidery Frame
This beautiful embroidery frame was made for me by Nissie Vermeulen of Bettys Bay, South Africa. I used a hanky handed down to me by my Dutch Grand Mother, and using 48count silk gauze as waste thread I stitched my own design. The needle is a tiny piece cut off an acupuncture needle. The lace is delighfully fine and I was able to use a piece I had cut off to complete the edging.
