My MIL gave me this sweet little diddy. She did beautiful embroidery work in her day, and I had hoped she would finish this up for me, she no longer can do her embroidery. Oh she did lovely work, birds, flowers, & announcements.
I ran across this the other day, and I like it just the way it is, how much more lovely would this be with thread? So, I think Iwill give this a try, I'm not a good sewer, and have done some crossstich in my day, embroidery another issue. NO CLUE.
I have no idea how old it is. Since the original price is 49 cents. I'd say it's fairly old.
It just makes it more lovely.
Hope you enjoyed the little something something

That is sweet! Love the colors.
Wow, it's beautiful. Some parts look like cross stitch, but I'm not sure what stitches to use in other parts.
Is it a kitchen towel?
That piece will be lovely if you embroider it. Lots of detail there.
Oh, my goodness, what memories of my grandmother you have brought back!!! I can't wait to see what you do with the embroidery!
You asked about my natural-dyed crochet version of the ever-popular knitted Hue Shift Afghan. I'm so sorry to be so late in responding. It's been a crazy few weeks. My crochet adaptation of the afghan (which doesn't include the Hue Shift pattern) is here.
Beautiful, it does look old but what a joy it will be when you have finished it.
You can do it. I usually stick to back stitch, chain stitch and French knots when doing embroidery. I just can not get satin stitch down.
God bless.
Nil, this is a kitchen towel. No directions. I can at least do the cross stitch.
Thank you all for your comments. Jackie, I'll look into those stitches.
Lady Locust, thank you for stopping over.
I hope to do it justice.
