What are you hand stitching today? Please link up your blog or instagram post below and share your project with us.
My mum use to crochet these crinoline ladies in white and stitch them on to the white lawn bowls cloths. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to have a pair of pillowcases with the crochet skirt, we never used them though, much too nice to be used on children's pillows. All of the pillowcases are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, what fun to be a judge! My mom also used to embroider pillow cases. My grandma used to embroider and stitch a lacy edge. Beautiful! I still have a few of them.
ReplyDeleteThose pillowcases are beautiful. I love the little blue birds at the top. That does look like interesting thread for your next Gail Pan block!
ReplyDeleteKathy, your scrappy Star quilt is a beauty but I can't say I approve of the use of a ladder and roof top for a photo. LOL But happy you are unscathed!
ReplyDeleteI had to look at these embroideries up close esp. that crocheted skirt. Amazing and I've never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
What beautiful hand work - I have never seen anything like the lady in the blue crochet dress! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHow fun and what an honor to be a judge for the fair entries. Those are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! My Mom and Grandma used to embroider things - mostly table scarves. I need to prep my Little Things embroidery.... the month is slipping away from me!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be able to judge the fair entries. I can't wait to see how that thread of yours comes out
ReplyDeleteI have one set of pillowcases that I did, I really love them. I really need to make more. I love the bluebird one in your picture!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get started on my next needlework project soon!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom(93) still stitches these type of pillowcases. Every one loves them as gifts.
ReplyDeleteOh my, all those pillowcases are so pretty, especially the sweet girl with the crochet dress. Just to think of all the love and hours that have gone into the stitching of each one. Happy hand stitching!
ReplyDeleteI have a old variegated thread like that that I inherited several years ago. Those pillowcases are very pretty. I had an aunt who used to send me embroidered pillowcases. Most of them have worn out now, but I saved the embroidery.
ReplyDeleteI got in a few stitches this evening while relaxing from my day. Soooo many pickles were made and tomorrow we are making sauerkraut!!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow cases are amazing! Such talented people.
ReplyDeleteYour little house is going to look so cute
