E is For...............
Vintage Edgings.
These textile accents are can be found mostly on hankies, doilies, and pillowcases.
Whether tatted or crocheted they make any fabric project special.
This edging is a corner of a hankie. I used to accent a shirt.
This is another hankie edging.
This is the edge on a towel.E is for..................
Embroidery of course.
This embroidered 1940's hankie acccented a tote.
and this 1950's one did too.
This French Knot and satin stitch basket is a 1940's pattern for a bridge table cloth. It's on my website as a bolster pillow.

Embroidery!! Didnt even think of that one....duh. Thanks for sharing more of your lovely linens Melody--always a treat!
Great idea! I just woke up and got the email and am trying to think of E's and F's but most of my ideas are pretty wonky at this point! I love all your linens!

I hope you are doing well. I am playing catchup tonight reading and commenting. I am a little behind the time. Things are getting a little back to normal after a hective week. I am hoping this week will be better, but will have to wait and see. The weather has sure cooperated this weekend. In the 60's so can't complain. Your Missouri Friend.
Oh, edgings—how clever for E! I have tons of vintage handkerchiefs and just love the gorgeous edgings and trims. Hmmm, handkerchiefs might be a good topic for "H"!
Vintage edging that's a really good one! Love the feed sack prints too.
Best wishes,
Chris
Edgings and embroidery...I didn't think of those! So pretty!
And of course, you know I love those fabrics, esp. the yellow.
