I'm really, really, really, done!
It was a little over a year ago, when I found a vintage linen , luncheon tablecloth and napkin set in a plastic bag in the back of a junk store.
As soon as I got it home, I transferred morning glory flower clusters on each corner,
and began hand embroidering it. I would work on it for a little while, get side tracked with life........and other embroidery projects.........come back to it and embroider it some more.
Finally about 8 weeks before the holidays, I started stitching on it non stop.
Finally, I made my last stitch in the early morning hours yesterday.
I embroidered the flowers in blue, and shades of purple/ lavender to match the stripes and border of the tablecloth.
I also drew vines with morning glory buds to tie the corners together in the design.
I embroidered each napkin in each of the colors I chose for the tablecloth.
Whoever buys this set ........if they look hard enough.......will find my signature.......
I always sign my work in thread.........somewhere.
Now it is a pretty and cheery set. I am so glad to have it finished.
Now on to the next project!
Very very cute, beautiful and gorgeous. Happy new year.

You have a rare talent, it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteKathleen...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friend. It's been a whirlwind here with work, and then getting some much needed time off for the holidays and rest. I actually was able to get some Christmas cookies baked this year.
ReplyDeleteThe tablecloth set is beautiful, as usual. I love the light purple edgings and the morning glories adorning it. You are so very talented.
I'm thinking of ways I can make my blog more creative, fun and interactive. So for right now I'm simply talking about a new book. But I am looking forward to getting the blog back to its original leisurely place for others to enjoy.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and you new year is full of good health, prosperity and blessings around every bend.
Hugs and love,
