\"One<\/a>

One Corner Of Teacloth<\/p><\/div>\n

This teacloth was worked by my mother as a schoolgirl.<\/p>\n

The design came from a transfer, and there was another girl in her class that was working the same one. With rather a difference. Her flowers were all lazy daisy stitch, and anything else was stem stitch, apart from the edges, and she got the whole thing finished in a term.<\/p>\n

She did all the edges in blanket stitch – which with my recent experience with the Azorean Cutwork<\/a> has me extremely impressed. It takes so long to make any noticeable progress with it!<\/p>\n

The leaves are all in feather stitch, and they’re beautifully shaped, and the flowers are satin stitch – very neat satin stitch, which again is one of my least favourite stitches, and one I only do neatly in short bursts and with something else to do in between!<\/p>\n

\"Detail<\/a>

Of course, my mother didn’t get her teacloth done in a single term – but her teacher was so impressed with what was finished that she took it home and handwashed and pressed the completed corner to put in in the end of term exhibition.<\/p>\n

In spite of the fact that I very much doubt whether the teacher had contributed anything at all to my mother’s skill in the matter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
