Stitched to Death

Return of the Lifetime Movie baby onesies!

Custom order

When a friend of mine’s grandmother died, he inherited a set of plain napkins that she had cross-stitched flowers in the corner of. He and his wife are about to have a baby girl — this week! — and she sent me two of the napkins and asked me to embroider a couple of passages from Tina Fey’s “A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child” so that she can frame them for use in her room.

“Romance and detective work won’t mix tonight!”So, this is a long walk for a short drink but here goes … I was stitching this bookmark over the weekend. Sunday was Easter and I was thinking about how my favorite Easter basket as a kid included a copy of “Nancy Drew and The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes.” Since this was a little Scottish lass, I decided to include a Nancy Drew quote. This is actually from a different book (“The Bungalow Mystery”) but I thought it was made for a bookmark.
