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.

Tablecloths from LeeAnn.
This cloth is a Semco one with a Mexican theme design embroidered in each corner.
This table cloth is a standard size cloth, with hand crocheted edge, embroidered only where you can see in this photo. The centre of the cloth, and all around the remaining edge has the design stamped on it ready to be done.
This is as close as I could get, to show the detail of the beautiful stitching.
Here is a very old supper cloth - beautiful quality linen, with two corners not stitched...
and the other two corners nearly finished.
This is a closer view of one of the corners - exquisite stitching.
It boggles my mind how much work goes into some of these tablecloths and other linens. Incredible!
