This is a set of hand embroidered flour sack towels that I have been working on. Must say machine embroidery sure is faster and easier. But, love the look of hand embroidery. How about you? Hugs

Very pretty, isn't it nice to go back and do by hand. As you said not as fast as machine, But its done by hand. That is very special.

I purchased this set some years ago and made a set of flour sack towel for my MOM and they really do have the look and feel of hand stitched embroidery. She won't use them because she says they are part of her finery's,Just for looks:) .
Thanks for sharing.

My mom was the same way. She had old Silver Dust Detergent towels still new when she passed. Miss her everyday. The memories are wonderful. I thank her for teaching me embroidery and the art of sewing.

I love these beautifully done. Hand work can't be beat. I love the machine but hand work wins.

You do beautiful work. I did some of these birds a zillion years ago. I did love to hand embroider and do counted cross stitch when my fingers still worked like they should.

I used to cross stitch too, can't see well enough to do any more. Know what you mean about the fingers.

I remember getting a set like that for a wedding gift 43 years ago. I still have one left. If those towels could talk! Very nice indeed.
