The bobbin was found in a vintage shop, already etched and painted with the woodpecker and flowers, so i snapped it up, even though it’s not very big…only 2 3/4 inches tall. The buildings will be stitched in black thread…likely sewing thread weight…and colour added sparingly in greenery, laundry, clothing, etc.
The old embroideries are what I have left of my mum’s work…just pillowcases. The plan is to back the linen with some of her work. It’ll be cut to fit (gasp!) but better that than left unseen and unappreciated in a drawer for another 5 decades. Whatever is left I’ll use to make Xmas ornaments for her great grandchildren, and then any tinier bits will cover some buttons.
