Widow Mother Embroidery Design by Embroidery Central

We used a lighter weight (60 weight) thread on the eyes for finer detail.

Once upon a time, there lived a poor widow who lived in a humble cottage adorned with two beautiful rose bushes, one bearing white roses and the other red. Her two daughters, Snow White and Rose Red, were named for the roses and were just as lovely. Snow White was quiet and gentle, and loved to help in the household. Rose Red was lively and loved to run about the fields, picking flowers and chasing butterflies. Both girls had a sweet and cheerful disposition, and brought much joy to their mother.

Snow White and Rose Red kept their mother's cottage beautifully clean and neat. In summer Rose Red looked after the house and every morning before her mother awoke she placed a bunch of flowers before the bed, including a rose from each rosebush. In winter, Snow White lit the fire and put on the kettle, and when the snow flakes fell their mother said: "Snow White, go and close the shutters" and they drew round the fire, while the mother put on her spectacles and read aloud to them.
