It is old felt, with sequins and wool stitching, each letter different. The white felt has long since turned brown with age, and the sequins have lost much of their colour; some has run into the felt. But I love it; I can "see" my Nana, still young, sitting in the sunroom off her upstairs bedroom in Toronto, cutting and stitching. Oh, so long ago!
Detail of the letter "R".
It says "Christmas" and "family" to me, good food, warmth, memory and laughter. May you all have that kind of a Christmas!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
