Vintage stitching

I am busy packing for an upcoming move when I re-discovered table cloths, dollies and chair backs all wonderfully hand crafted by my grandmother, great aunt and my own mother.


I would have loved to have spent the afternoon photographing them but well packing, packing and more packing.


So I settled on photographing just one - a preview. I will immerse myself in them when we have moved and settled and share the beautiful work - it deserves to be shared. 


They are all Mine Mine Mine :) 


But I am thinking that there are just too many for a little mouse and I will breathe new life into them - thinking cushions and quilts.... 


So here is my little preview delicate pansies, who can not be charmed my these lovely little flowers?

  1. I absolutely adore vintage embroidered linens. I've got quite a collection. Never use them - far too afraid of staining them... but I know they're there - and I love them. One day.... I may combine a few of them into a wall-hanging quilt.
