My mom has a set that looks just like this one..and she does not have a Sunday. She is 79 years old and did lots of embroidery work. Actually.. non of her long ago sets have 7 days in them.

You are absolutely right. Sunday is the day for rest. I love it.

If you can't find pattern, try to make your own. Copy it onto fabric similiar, using light box or tape up on window & trace. Add Sunday in your own hand, similiar to the other lettering. Just a thought.
They are soooo cute. My Mom turns 87 this Friday & she is still able to embroidery. We've had 1 quilt made out of some she did & now she's working on #17 of 18. They are 18 x 18. I have several pillowcases & carves she's done in yrs past. Thanks for sharing......
