This antique embroidery was sent to me by a lovely lady named Nancy who you may know from her former blog "Lovely in Chocolate." She doesn't have her blog anymore but we are Facebook friends and one day she just announced that she had found a nice antique embroidery and was going to send it to me! I was flabbergasted but couldn't say no since I love old embroideries.
I carefully attached it to some fabric that I think goes well with it and made it into a wall hanging.
There are lots of pretty details to look at, such as the bunny at the base of the tree and the little bluebirds in a nest up in a branch of the tree.
I don't know who stitched it or when it was done but I love it!
Just beautiful! Thank you, Nancy!
I stitched this from an old stamped cross stitch kit that I found on Ebay. I had seen a finished one on Pinterest and loved it so much that I knew I had to try and find one to make. I love the colors and the vintage look of it. I have not yet made it into a hanging, but it's sitting on the fabric that I will be using, I think it will look nice with it.
It may seem strange to you, that someone would want to stitch an old thing like this, with its unruly X's and a lack of precision compared to a counted cross stitch piece. I would not have liked this either, years ago, but for some reason, I just love things like this now. I hope you have enjoyed looking at these and I'm so glad you came to my blog for another visit!
