Made a wallhanging from a runner pattern. The fabric is 50 years old linen from my grandma. Because to iron this linen is a Nightmare I decided to make a wallhanging. The embellishment I did by hands(roses) and with my regulare sewing machin.

66021Wie edel! Sieht so schön aus und eine phantastische Idee, das geerbte Leinen von der Oma so zur Geltung zu bringen. Und durch Deine Handarbeit und die Liebe, die drin steckt, schaffst auch Du Erinnerungen. Danke fürs Zeigen
How special! Looks lovely and is a great idea - the heritage linen by
grandma is honoured now. And by your handcraft and the love put in also you are making memories. Thanks for sharing

Danke Maria, das Leinen sind Mangeltücher, die beim Tod meiner Oma vor mehr als 30 Jahren weggeworfen werden sollten. Ich habe sie damals aufgehoben und verarbeite sie nun Stück für Stück.

As a runner I would need to wash often, but it gets a lot of wrinkles during washing and it must be ironed very hot to be smooth, this is not good for the embroidery.
Thank you

Thank you, my grandma passed away more then 30 years ago, the fabric was used in a machine which is smoothing bed linen and tableclothes, dont know the english words for this, in german it is called "Mangel".
