Dorothy Wordsworth refers to ‘flowering and marking’, meaning to embroider identification signs on linen. Â IÂ recently bought some wonderful, secondhand and fine quality bedlinen, with flowers and monograms beautifully embroidered along the top edge of what appear to be trousseau items.
See the quote-mosaic review of this enchanting journal by a vibrant, life-loving woman.
