"It takes ages to finish a quilt you're not working on!"

One corner of a tablecloth. Semco put these out around the 1950's I think. The coloured bands on the border are woven into the cloth, and the design stamped on it is stitched in colours to match the border. I have about 6 similar cloths in my collection, and I am really keen on them; they represent such a country kitchen feel to me.

Gina, I've been so busy lately, I've learned to spin wool and am enjoying that so much, plus have taken on extra cello stuff. Missed coming by though. This piece is just lovely....pristine is the word that comes to mind. Hope you are having a good week...blessings to you!

I've recently discovered your website, and I love seeing all your beautiful things. I too have a large collection of vintage embroideries that I inherited from my mother-in-law, and someday, when I find the time, I'm going to post pictures of some to my blog. (I never even write on my blog.) But thank you for sharing your lovely belongings. Cathy from New Jersey
