Vintage Cross Stitch from a tea towel Here in Wisconsin, the daffodils started blooming the last weekend in April - and the tulips had buds, the grass was green, but the trees were still bare. Since spring is finally starting I decided to share some very spring-like vintage needlework linens I have collected. One word that describes these linens is "Sweet". Vintage Cross stitch detail from a pillowcase The two photos above show two cross stitch samples. I love the coloration on these two projects - so beautiful and springy. I have made a few cross stitch projects, mostly Christmas ornaments, and so I have an appreciation for the time cross stitch takes. (About eight hours to make a small Christmas ornament). So when I see a lovely project at an estate sale or rummage sale, I enjoy collecting it. Vintage blanket stitch hand applique detail The next type of needlework I am sharing I have only ever seen at estate or rummage sales, but now I have several examples. The brightly colored blanket stitch hand applique is fascinating to me. The blanket stitches are so tiny and nearly invisible on the back. The fabric appliqued has beautiful variations in color, and the color is so pure. Details from two hand appliqued tea towels Above I am showing the two towels together so you can see the differences in the placement of the color, for example in the blue flower. These towels may have been "mass produced", (I am guessing), but the needlework is still done by hand. Needlework tree in bloom This final example is machine done (I presume). A whimsical tree in bloom shines on the lightest weight pink fabric. I like how the designer made the trunk detail have actual holes through the fabric. This example is also from a towel, and I find the pink and gray combination sophisticated. I hope these springy needlework linens cheer you as much as they cheer me.
