Sometimes you have an elaborate centre piece on top of a table cloth for afternoon tea which can be made with all sorts of techniques. <br /><br />I am so glad that this piece of sewing history is safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188526489767830724.post-50308624399309690692009-07-12T06:12:38.840+03:002009-07-12T06:12:38.840+03:00What wonderful patterns.

Wonder what kind of creature that first animal is?? <br />My Great Aunt Twila who is 94 years old has a little purse like that made of black velvet and lined in gold. She said she carried it to her first ball.. and it was very elegant. I'm guessing that would probably have been around 1931. :-)Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272090843872445967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188526489767830724.post-82548010014517054502009-07-11T02:51:39.561+03:002009-07-11T02:51:39.561+03:00The folder is a keeper, but the patterns seem too ...The folder is a keeper, but the patterns seem too labor intensive for this fast paced world!Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072175456185500751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188526489767830724.post-11778122218196836082009-07-10T16:21:03.291+03:002009-07-10T16:21:03.291+03:00ooohhh what a treasure..love those gorgeous design...ooohhh what a treasure..love those gorgeous designs :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188526489767830724.post-33667142457589452762009-07-10T07:00:55.613+03:002009-07-10T07:00:55.613+03:00What great patterns, I would be tempted to try and...What great patterns, I would be tempted to try and make something from the patterns.

I googled it and found calcedonio, a Venetian glass was later called schmelz and was chararcterized by the color veins going through it.

I think they would look fabulous in a sewing room. <br />When I started blogging, I had to switch to Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, because it wouldn't let me upload pictures, or do anything I needed to do to blog.
