My grandmother used to spend her down-time embroidering.
Tablecloths, runners, hand towels, and the likes.
It takes a lot of patience to work the needle, especially in fading eye-sight and many times after a long day of work.
I love using these tablecloths when setting the table, they remind me of gentler times, and the love and pride our grandparents took to make the lives of others more uncommon.

Beautiful embroidery.
All the best Jan
They are indeed very beautiful and serene to look at.
Very lovely. Precious memories. My Grandmother embroidered too. <3
Oh my, Jo, that is, indeed, a labor of love. You are fortunate to have it tucked away for remembrance. I embroider and that pattern is exquisite
and quite an accomplishment. Thank you for sharing.
This is such refined work done with such great care. They are beautiful and precious keepsakes.
