Genuine antique needlework
October 26th, 2007 by Jill HallThe other day I mentioned the antique needlework pieces Sharon from VA brought for show & tell.
Here they are.
First is a panel of flowers worked in queen stitch on a metal ground. My favorite kind of needlework is counted thread, and my favorite counted thread stitch is queen stitch. I may have a new favorite genre and stitch soon, though, I’m being introduced to so many new embroidery methods and other fiber techniques during these show & tell times.
Next up is the trim with a metal weft and sequins, although they didn’t come through very well in the photo.
Last is a flower, looks like on maybe a linen ground.
More pretties tomorrow.
