Blessing dress for Elizabeth
(Top: Elizabeth, October 2006) A little more than three years ago, when my daughter-in-law Rachel was pregnant with Elizabeth, Rachel's mother Sarah made this beautiful linen blessing dress for the new baby.
Sarah wanted it to be from both grandmothers, so she asked me to do silk ribbon embroidery on it. Sarah made the gorgeous crocheted lace around the hem.
This photo shows one of the bouquets of silk ribbon embroidery I sewed on the bodice, and around the hem. The dress turned out wonderfully. Thanks, Sarah, for letting me work on it too!
