Car accompanying the lady in green on this apron. Looks a bit like a Packard to me...which would make the apron's vintage around the 1920's.

Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Wow! Are you SURE these are hand-done??!!!! Really beautiful!
They certainly are hand stitched, Sarah. I have half a dozen aprons in my collection that have the design completely filled in using stem stitch. They must have taken months, if not years, to do.
Can you imagine doing something solid like this?? How wonderful!!
