Here are my blogless mom's blocks for Cancer is Sew Done. Click on the second one to see the embroidery in the center. I'm pretty sure that's salvaged embroidery from a commercial piece, as she tells me the white is salvaged butcher's apron from the 40's!
Yes, Wendy, you're right!! The embroidery was part of an embroidered curtain. I only had one panel, so I decided to save it and piece it out! Glad you like them!
ReplyDeleteI have some vintage fabric, old pillowcases and such thats a great idea for them. Just the tidbits that are really pretty could be placed on the square. Oh I got my fabric for my next quilt i am attempting to hand sew. I am going to post some pics and hitting you up for some help. I just havent had the time this week.
