I ended up with these...
1975 was scrawled on the back in pencil--about the same time I was learning to do this kind of work as a child.
The frames were cheap and poorly painted black--with a little school-bus yellow peeking through in places. I like them. Very happy and colorful. Very vintage. Very Sue!
I have also been making a few of these for a local charitable project. The pattern can be found here...
...only you'll have to add the <3 slip stitching on your own.
I am working on editing the pattern to include instructions for this little felted flower & button ring to the wristwarmer.
They are super easy and can be felted by hand. What do you think?
I think you've been very lucky to find the vintage embroidered pieces (I am crazy over such :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you've been contributing to a wonderful cause!
Love the mits especially the ones with the felted flowers {swooning}
Thanks! Lol! I love your swooning comment and am happy you like them. I'll have to get to work writing the pattern update for the flowers.
DeleteOh wow, love the frames and the embroidery that goes in them. Makes such charming and unique wall hangings. And the fingerless gloves are so pretty, love the heart and the flowers. Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
