I did this is a class last year. The tablecloth design and lace is from S embroidery A LOT of work involved over 100 hours I think of stitching (including backward stitching hehe) But I love it. Havn't used it yet .

This piece is beautiful as usual! Ros, you are one of a very few that does this quality work on every single thing that you embroider. You should be very proud of every single item that you do! If I were you, I would try to find a very elite dept. store to sale the items that you do not do for yourself or someone special at a very elite price! Your work IS worth whatever price you choose to ask!!!!!!! I do not think you would have any problem selling a single item for more that you would usually ask for it. Most people, even with your talent and skills tend to under price their heirloom pieces. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful items with all of us!

Thank you so much. I think that the joy would go out of the sewing if I charged for it. I do enjoy sewing . It keeps me sane. If that is at all possible. I must admit I do make a "rod for my own back" with a lot I want to do.Thank YOU so much for your lovely comment. I'm a pretty shy person and all these lovely things that you girls say about my work, well I get embarrassed, So I think you all so much

oops THANK is what I meant to say

Simply stunning Ros - how big is this gorgeous tablecloth?

And what are the steps involved. eg. what and where goes first etc. etc. etc.

Love and blessings Chris

1 comment
roslyn by roslyn 19 May 2010

thank you Chris. You make the lace first and while hand stitching them together you could do the embroidery and then you attach the lace and do wing needle work if you want. I have the measurements and placement markings if you want. I think the table cloth measure about 48" sq. so to start with you need 150cm square of material to start with

Took a lot of hours. More so when I made a "boo boo" and had to unpick a section of the centre roses. the large design too. Took 1 1/2 days to do that. Oh well.

This is an amazing tablecloth. I haven't seen anything of this magnatude in a long time. All that inlaid lace is so interesting. I think it would have been a nightmare to have it all measured out and get it all worked out right. You should be so proud of your work. It's well worth comment. You know you can't find anything like this in any store. Well, not where I shop anyway. lol Thanks so much for sharing. It's been my pleasure.
