    Dear Friends,

    These embroidered table cloths were done by my mother-in-law 40 years ago...........one of the Peacock and the other with border work.........which she handed over to me for safe keeping as I love embroidery...............now it adorns our music system.

    Awaiting your comments and feedback to pass it on to her over the phone.......
