Wednesday

Some old embroidery

To day I would like to share with you some of my mother's  embroidery. 
She was born on July 7th 1921 and died last February,
She would have reached 90 tomorrow.

This beautiful wall hanging she made 1945, with her  initial at the bottom.
Her name started with this Icelandic letter Þ.



Three beautiful rococo chairs (one for each child). 
They were always in use in her living room, for about 40 - 50 years.
Still beautiful.



Single chair. 
Later I will show you the dining room chairs. 
I forgot to take photos.


This is called "puntuhandklæði"  in Icelandic, (decoration towel)
Behind it you hang the tee towels.
My father made the wooden piece, he was a very good craft man.


Here are two  "puntuhandklæði".
I don't know how many she made.


She also crochet lace. 
This is just a tiny bit of her work.
Always doing something,
amazing woman.

Hope you enjoyed this,
thank you for stopping by.


Happy stitching
Paula
