Rocking Horse Keepsake

Preserve a treasured baby photograph in this petite keepsake designed to commemorate the birth of a child. The cover features a rocking-horse motif worked in lacis embroidery with linen threads, while the interior uses silk ribbons to display a standard 2½ x 3½-inch wallet-sized photograph. Pictured here in blue, the keepsake may be worked in an alternate colorway—cotton-candy pink—to celebrate the birth of a little girl.
