I love the chicken scratch embroidery on this

darling gingham apron!

 

 

This pristine tea towel/luncheon cloth

has something to crow about -- it's beautiful!!

The set includes a vintage valentine

and mini stitchery kit!

 

I'd love to hear an apron memory,

I have my grandmother's red gingham apron. 

 It has a lovely little white patch sewn with tiny stitches

where Grandma repaired a worn hole.

 

Enjoy your week!!

Have Yourself a Merry Vintage Christmas!

 

Here's a glimpse of some of the home-sewn

and vintage items that

decorate the Harper house each year.

 

I stitched the previous two ornaments years ago.

The photographs don't show the Kreinik

blending filament that's stitched with

the DMC floss to give the

ornaments an iridescent sheen.

 

I love using Kreinik blending filaments

in my cross stitch projects.

(I also love that they're manufactured

in my great home state!)

 

This sweet vintage

doily with the three dimensional rose

was and still is a popular pattern

readily available online.

The green thread edging makes this one

perfect for December displays.

 

 

This flocked felt stocking came from Grandma's house.

I sure do miss her.

 

This little girl rests on

a white-worked napkin

which features embroidery, cutwork,

pulled threads, and an inserted filet lace square.

 



 

This tablecloth features

grey thread embroidery on white linen.

Pulled threads and cutwork are also included.

 



Bottle brush trees always help set a vintage scene!

 

Thanks for stopping by

Threads in the Nest

this year!

 

I wish you and yours a very

Merry Christmas!
