Can you believe this? Well, at first I couldn't. I haven't counted the embroidery threads and I don't intend to but I will have to sort them by colors because this is a real mess. Some of these were in boxes, while others were in bags with the name of the gobelin they belong to. There were a lot of them put on cardboard patches (see below) and all messed up which will require good nerves, a steady arm and lots of time to unravel them.
The amazing, embroidered tablecloth I talked about in my last post. I am sorry it is a bit wrinkled but it was taken out of the closet after who knows how much time.
The beautiful, repeating detail of the roses.
My favourite gobelin and some other finds.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
What finds! All that floss! You certainly can put it to good use. The tablecloth is beautiful, and in excellent condition. The lamp in the last shot is very intriguing, we have something similar, but a little larger. I love oil lamps.
ReplyDeleteGood heavens Maya, what a treasure this is! All those fine embroidery threads will certainly give you hours and hours of pleasure! And that darling table cloth with superb roses... amazing... so beautiful... Enjoy! But I know you will!

That's a treasure indeed!
ReplyDeleteyour husband's grandmother was a very talented lady, the tablecloth is gorgeous and the gobelins too (so much work!!!).
I remember seeing that DMC's boxes on my embroidery aunt's home, when I was a child!
holey mackerel! the embroidery floss alone has me drooling from across the ether... WOW you!
ReplyDeleteThat table cloth is amazingly beautiful..what a find :)
ReplyDeleteI used to cross stitch before I had kids and had all this lovely floss and all kinds of supplies.One time when we were cleaning out the basement my family convinced me to get rid of it all. Of course, years later I'm wanting to try some crafts and embroidery now that the kids are all so busy. Regrets that all my supplies are gone. Lucky you on such a great find. Pat S
