Once you start looking for them they are everywhere - in nature and the creations of others. I always enjoy finding curves while on my strolls around town, and especially when they are made from wrought iron. There is a grace about it I find appealing. They are quite tricky to cut with the same sort of grace using a rotary cutter - more practice is the only answer I think. What a prospect.
Hope you are enjoying the old embroidery - I think this piece may be destined to become a tea cosy some day - its what the shape suggests to me at the moment. Any other bright ideas? Let me know...
Hi Philippa, I found you on Stitchin Fingers, and noticed your interest in vintage embroidery. Join the club - me too! I'm browsing your lovely blog and just have to comment on some of these gorgeous items. The stitching on this is just gorgeous, isn't it? Not sure if I'd make a tea cosy of it - is it a table runner in its existing form?
I'm a textile loving mother of three who gets great pleasure from pottering in my sewing room, hunting out vintage textile bargains and roaming the crafty blogs of the internet. And from time to time I've even been known to pay attention to the others I share the house with!
