  1. Does anyone have any good links for old embroidery? ie, techniques, patterns or manufacturers? I'm mining for instructions/color charts for some vintage tablecloths and items that my mom and I are finishing. We're cross-referencing the original color charts with new embroidery flosses, etc. A couple of them are from 1941, Tobin, Sporn, & Glaser, Inc. So I'm googling away.... I hit a yard sale where they had a whole bunch of these projects, brand new, some still with the labels on them, lots of tablecloths, some with matching napkins, pillow cases, dresser scarves and things like that, and a lot of them are linen. I'm also mining for vintage crochet edgings for same. She's finished several. Most of the time, we just pick floss colors that we like. (See, who says that degree in Fine Art doesn't do you any good!?!) lol! Lots of floral designs and roses... one would be really pretty in fall colors. It would be interesting to see what the original intention was for the design. Two tablecloths have grapes/vines...I'm trying to finish one that my MIL gave me...I'm not sure if she started it, or if her mom started it. I'm working on one that has morning glories all around it. Any input will be greatly appreciated! If I find any eye candy, I'll be sure to share! Oh, also 'rescued' some abandoned, hand-embroidered, cross stitch quilt blocks...the white ones with an intersecting, pre-stamped design on them... oye...realized when trying to stitch the blocks together that the design isn't centered on each square, so each individual seam will have to be aligned and marked somehow before I can sew the seams. Anyone done one of these quilt kits? Sammi in MT
