| Thank you! it is not me but some one made them hundreds years ago. usually it needs one month at least to complete the embroidery on one side of the pillow. |

Very nice! I'm not sure if someone made them hundreds of years ago but I'm sure they took a great deal of work. I did a lot of Chinese Embroidery when I was younger. It was all by hand. The work is so amazing but also put a great strain on the hands. My fingers are too valuable now so I quit Chinese embroidery. Also some of the new embroidery machines are so good and available, this is almost a lost art now. I'm only guessing that decades later, these may become quite valuable. - Robin
