I love the look of hand embroidered tea towels, pillow cases, or anything, really, for that matter! I don't know how to do it, but maybe someday, I'll learn!

Yes, I love to hand embroider and I love your giveaway!!! I've done many an embroider quilt blocks for fun wall quilts or baby quilts. Embroidery is easy, try it!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to pick up hand embroidering and winning this would be the kick in the pants I need. My mom has kitchen towels my grandma made that she still uses. They have cats doing household chores on them and I have been tempted to steal them (but I know she would notice!) I need some kitties of my own.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never heard of that book. I like antique linens and tablecloths. I used to do crewel embroidery but now I prefer redwork type embroidery. I would love to try those towels. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI have just started to embroider. i have a great set of old towels my parents made. i love old tea towels too. what a GREAT giveaway!!! i would cherish this set.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to embroider but have recently gotten the itch to learn. I love the vintage look of embroidery...make me think of hand embroidered pillow cases my Nana used to make! I've never thought of it as a collection, but I have a few pillowcases with embroidery from my Nana and Great-grandmother! I would love this little kit! Thanks for hosting this giveaway
ReplyDeleteYes, I hand embroider, have made small quilt top, pillows, and small stuffed toys. I collect vintage flour sifters and some kitchen items. One of my favorites is an ice cube tray, a metal one you crack back the handle.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really done much embroidery but would like to try it. I have done silk embroidery mostly flowers. I like to collect vintage sewing notions & kitchen items. I would love the towels to try!
ReplyDeleteYes, I hand embroider. Currently, I am making 16 different town scene blocks to put into a quilt. I like to put little things on my childrens' clothing too.
ReplyDeleteI like vintage sheets for quilts and bits of vintage fabrics for when I have enough for a quilt. I am saving hankies for when I have enough for a wall-hanging because I found one that has my grandma's signature (I recognize it clearly from all the letters) at a garage sale! Oh...I collect teeny 1" perfume bottles too...my boys found a handful in a forest and cleaned them up for me.

I know how to hand embroider, but probably haven't picked up a project since I moved out of the house, but my grandmother made a set of kitchen cloths with this pattern on it and each of my siblings has one from the set. Aww, my heart melted when I saw that little dancing teacup.
ReplyDeleteI don't really collect vintage items, but I do love to find new uses for old worn out things. Mostly updating old clothing & jackets from goodwill, not really vintage, but certainly thrifty & fun!
Looks like a lovely book. I'm only just learning to embroider. It always struck me as a very hard thing to do but once I tried, it's really quite simple. I love vintage linens, particularly napkins. My Gran has just given me some napkins and other linens that she made when she was a teenager - they are certainly some of my most treasured in the collection. Thanks so much for being so generous and allowing us to enter your giveaway.
