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 is so beautiful I wonder if I could ever get one done I started a hand cross stich cover 7 years ago and still do not have it finished got so many hours in it.I wonder if I will finish ie before I am gone. this table cloth is something to be proud of but I think I would use it so I could show it off.

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.

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.

I know what it is like to pick out stitches. Only if they came out as easy as they went in. Wouldn't seem so bad. Mildred

Life is too short to keep something this lovely in a cabinet. Take it out, show it off, and enjoy the fruits of your labor of love. It is simply gorgeous. You have made so many fantastic items, I must ask ---- do you EVER sleep? <grin> I am just in awe of how much you are able to produce!

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
by roslyn 20 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

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
