This might not be historic or vintage needlework but I found a beautiful cut-work embroidered Christmas runner last summer in an antique store. The embroidery is machine made. <http://www.costumegallery.com/runner.jpg> http://www.costumegallery.com/runner.jpg De: I remember this type of cutwork/embroidery with the color was popular in the 30s and 40s. Another technique was with sheer cotton and a piece of colored fabric was sewn to the back to give a "frosted" look to the design and then the cutwork to accent. P:The CWdecorations are made of all natural items. I am returning to CW Dec. 11 to see if they have new decorations and photograph them. Today I am making my variation of this wreath: <http://www.costumegallery.com/Williamsburg/2009/1020053.htm> http://www.costumegallery.com/Williamsburg/2009/1020053.htm . De: What are the "berries"? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
