Another item from the sewing chest....

was this beautiful sampler of swans - although badly stained with coffee....

 

This became an inspiration for a new duvet cover inlay for babies....

 

The words are from a very well known nyrsery rhime/prayer in icelandic...

 

This is made with ecru thread nr.30, and 0,85 mm hook.

Sadly, one of the unfinished projects in my stash! Will have to finish it someday soon.

The nursery rhyme/prayer is a beautiful one, and translates roughly into this:

Now be over and all around

with your endless blessings,

may the angels of God sit in a circle

upon this duvet of mine.

Doesn't really translate that well, but one of the prayers that all Icelandic children know by heart.
