Tribute to the sweet embroiderer

She had the most beautiful legs in the world. Indeed, much more beautiful than those of Cyd Charisse. She was a child of the Mediterranean. When she was younger, she was an actor in a band of amateurs who played the classical repertoire. No doubt, she also conceived the costumes. But she was above all an outstanding embroiderer. How many tablewares did she embroidered with devotion and patience for those she liked ? She loved her nephew and niece as her own children. We exchanged beautiful gifts ... a meeting of minds, from the embroiderer to the lace fan. In inheritance, I received this wonderful book on embroidery offered by her niece, Marie-Hélène. She left with discretion and elegance, requisitioned by St Peter to embroider the Paradise's ceremonial tableware where the "pure hearts" gather every night to have dinner.
