Vintage Table Linens
The other day I was moving some things around in my dining room hutch and I came across a tablecloth that had been my grandmothers. She used to do crewel embroidery on tablecloths and pillow cases. I still have the pillow case she did for me-it has little deer and flowers on it. I'll have to post that at a later date. That got me thinking about tablecloths from the era when women carefully stitched these beauties for their families and friends. I went to google and found these beauties to share with you:
I just love this tablecloth! Doesn't it just conjure up visions of grandmoms!
This tablecloth is actually stenciled not embroidered. I think it is still really pretty!
I have always loved dogwoods so this one called to me. So much loving work went into this tablecloth.
I really love this alphabet flax cross-stitch tablecloth. I wouldn't mind putting one of those on my table. It would be so fun to play alphabet games with your grandkids while sitting around the table!

Beautiful table linens. My mom and grandmother used to embroider all kinds of linens and things.

What pretty tablecloths! I used to have a few embroidered pillow cases and I don't remember what happened to them!
