Ooh, so pretty! I love vintage linens. I have some of my great-grandmother's hand-embroidered pillowcases. But the stitching is wearing out in some places. So sad.
Those are very pretty. I never know what to do with mine.
I've seen them with a square pillow form inside, then tied shut with a satin ribbon. I hate to use them. But then they will get passed down another generation — or sold at a garage sale for 50¢. I"d rather use them.
What if they buy them and use them as rags to clean a motorcycle?
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

That is so beautiful! I love all the things my Grandma made me too.
Those are awesome, lucky you.

Those are beautiful. I have some of my grandmother's that look similar. What's the story behind these?
