This was so much fun that I'm going to try it again. I have a few packets of Aunt Betty's old ric-rac -- probably from 1940 or so -- and I'm just going to use it. Wouldn't she love these?

A little old-fashioned embroidery....
It all started when I was out and about Blogland when I came across a new-to-me blog called Giggleface Studios. I loved Tracey's embroidery things and especially her tinted embroideries. You must go take a look-see at the embroidered and tinted state blocks she's doing. Wonderful! Anyway, I saw something tucked away in her little green suitcase that I just had to try! Ric-rac flowers with embroidery. Well, I did it. And here they are.....
Thanks for the inspiration Tracey!

ReplyDeleteOh how sweet! That's just cute as can be -- makes you wonder about all the other fun designs that could be made with ric-rac!
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired. I may have to dig through my collection of old ric-rac too! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese turned out fantastic! You beat me to it though, so I guess this means you need to make a tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEmbroidery always flashes me back to my childhood. Mom and Grandma's dishtowels were always embroidered.
Wedding showers at our church still bring out the embroidery by the older ladies. I wish I had been married there, I'd have a set done by those dear ones.
