This Old xst tablecloth
Yesterday i was ironing , when i saw that This old tablecloth with the
wide xst stripes, has given up ,, the middle just gave up and sliced open like a wound.... It is a very old tablecloth, I inheriyted it from someone who inherited it, Must be at least 70 years old. I picked it up and put it before the window, the many places where it is almost seethrough = worn out , makes it useless to patch it [ But this fact i already knew several years ago] ,, so i need to give some thought to the xst parts... which i will cut out and reuse. Shall i use it as a whole ? adorn a new table cloth with the old part ? shall i cut it into pieces and use them as i need / want adoened parts , just like i do to my own ,,, unused works ??? We shall see ,,,, mirjam |

I had a treasured tablecloth that eventually just wore out along the fold lines, and I recut it to use as place mats and napkins. Felice |

She is a quilter, and incorporated the fabric containing the embroidery into her quilting. She made many small items like pillows, place mats, wall hangings etc, and they all had some of this lovely old needlework in them. Just a suggestion. gillian |
