This is so inspiring! It was wonderful to see others appreciate the work that goes into not only cross-stitch but all handwork. I have been “collecting and rescuing” handwork for years and NOW I have some more wonderful ideas of putting them to use.

Your idea is so creative and beautiful. I know how you feel about preservering these gorgeous works of art. My mother-in-law made some beautiful pieces I saved because I couldn't bear to just toss out. I'm so glad you showed me what I could do to preserve them. Thank you so much for sharing your idea.

I love this! Thanks for explaining about lightest to darkest for courthouse/log cabin. I spend way too long figuring that out. Now I will forever have your words in my head. I also hate things to be abandoned in thrift store. I also pick up toddler smocked clothes that have stains on them. I try to recycle all of those things into what I call half sized twin bed quilts. Every child needs something like that to cuddle. I must confess that I alive to find the Christmas ones and I am saving them for a quilt to go on my bed. I also like to pick up clothes that have patches sewn on them. The ones from the 70’s are the best. Great video.

These ideas are wonderful! I love salvaging old things tossed away. I'll have to look for more embroidery projects at thrift stores! I bought a framed farm pumpkin patch embroidered that I use for a fall decoration. I have been wanting to ask someone and thought you might know. I bought a quilted "former linen" tablecloth that really just looks like a quilt, but I felt like it also could serve as a tablecloth still. Silly probably, since it's thick, but it has orange and yellow colors and is so cheerful that I use it to pretty up the table sometimes. I prefer us not eating on it as I have 4 children (so it doesn't get stained!). Do you know what people do with old linen tablecloths made into quilts by chance? Or have ideas for me? Thank you so much!❤
@merrymabelmarket
@merrymabelmarket 7 ай бұрын
I raised 6 children, so I can relate. I used to use a quilt on my table as a tablecloth. Then, I went and bought that plastic that they sell on rolls. (Maybe JOAnn's? - It has been years ago, but I bought mine at a small shop that was in my town.) You could see right through the plastic and still wipe off the children's spills. Best wishes!!
