Unusual Crazy Patchwork Technique | Up-cycling a Linen Tablecloth and Antique Lace

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

Although using found embroidery can give amazing results, you could also make your own piece of embroidery. Here I teach you how to use Iron-on Transfers, Stem Stitch and Lazy Daisy Stitch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWjNinSen5aprqs

I inherited some vintage embroidery from my Grandmother . Your video is full of great ideas and methods. Thank you

[@bethkolle1]

I inherited two shoeboxes of antique lace when I was only 12. That put me on a path I never would have guessed I’d be on. I learned bobbin lace and lace knitting as an adult, and I’ve collected pieces of lace found in thrift stores over the years, just because I love to look at them and imagine the lives of the artists who made them. And now, watching your video, I see how I can use these gorgeous bits of lace. Thank you!

[@carolynratliff1380]

Thankyou sooooo much….I have giveso many pretty pieces away…..I will start making this with what I have left from grandma…..you are so very TALENTED….hugs carolyn fro Columbus Georgia

Eleanor,your work is so Beautiful ! I have never seen quilting done so beautifully .Your talent is so different. Please showing us more ! I Love it .

[@donnavonschriltx9031]

Your instruction was excellent. I feel like I could now attempt a project. Thx so very much!

[@KristinaHoneyHavenFarm]

These are stunning. The shade of blue used is one of my favorite color palettes; I used to have Blue Willow style kitchenware. Like many people, I have been looking for ways to use pieces sewn by my grandmother and mother.

Just beautiful.Back in the early 70s ,I lived in Oxford and there was a fabulous shop on the High Street selling beautiful clothes made from old fabrics and lace in this crazy patchwork method .I have loads of antique lace , embroidery and fabrics .I am going to sort them and start making ! X

Beautiful piece of creativity ❤

[@michellemills1681]

thank you for this video - I have a bunch of old tray cloths and hankies... now I know how to upcycle them in a way that honours them

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

A wonderful project and a delightful sharing of your approach. I’m a confirmed hand stitcher but your approach is equally applicable to hand sewing. Cheers, Christine

[@nancyshaner8548]

Just beautiful. I see so many old pieces at thrift stores. This has inspired me to give it a try. Also, when I visited England, I found a few pieces of Nottingham lace. We visited the Nottingham lace area where it was made. This gives me an idea for a great keepsake to make with it. Thank you.

[@imagesbykim]

Lovely pieces, thank-you for sharing and for your tutorial.

Eleanor: Omgoodness this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us, but also for preserving this art that our formothers(?!! Word🤪) did and passed on to the rest of us!!! I have always enjoyed the handwork I’ve done and tried to pass it on to our children. It to holds a special place in my heart and I try to rescue it. Gods blessings til next time ❤️😀

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

Thank you for your lovely comment Rachel, and formothers will henceforth be adopted by me, perfect. ❤️

[@jeanbucknell1947]

Absolutely beautiful, really enjoyed watching you, these are simply wonderful!

[@patscorner7183]

Love your tea mug 🤗💓

[@dawnmcdaniel347]

So beautiful. I love how you breathe new life into these stunning pieces.

[@abigailthompson4456]

Beautiful! I have my mother's lace placemats and some thistle embroidered aprons, so I might make meaningful keepsakes for me and my sisters. I love that your tea towel looks like a Wm. Morris print.

[@ceebgee2520]

Thank you for your reply, I would like to make a suggestion for a follow up video where you show us how to attach the finished piece to the canvas. I am thinking you may have laced it ?. When you are working out the measurements required you would need to add on extra width and height to allow for folding to the back. That is what I thought I might do but getting smooth neat corners is always difficult.

[@ladylee8364]

This was so fun to watch and im so excited to try this patchwork

[@alisoncolsh2342]

Thank you 😊 I shall be sharing all sorts of things in the next few months.

[@loraineeverard9760]

Thank you, that was really interesting, and lovely and calming to watch. I have many pieces of my Gran and great-auntie's embroidery, and tablecloths, and have always wanted to re-use them in some way. I think you have given me the answer!

[@fatimalima542]

Wow the way you use and put the embroidery together is amazing.thank you so much for sharing 👍🌸🕊

[@nothingknitting]

Fantastic, thank you

[@nicolajames]

Beautiful results

[@barbaranneboyer7997]

lovely, as a hand embroider l'd love to do this piece. Blue willow has always been my favourite...thank you, just subscribed

[@upriver7047]

I have a vision in my mind of a large queen sized quilt made in this manor and have been collecting pieces and lace all my life for it. Thank you so much for sharing some ways of the construction that look far more doable than the ideas I've had in my mind. Maybe it's time to begin!

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

That's awesome, I made a strippy quilt with three of the strips made using this method a couple of years ago. I'm hoping to do a deep dive video into designing quilts featuring it in a month or so. Good luck with your quilt project.

[@ceebgee2520]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this art work with us. I work in a charity shop in NZ and I try to rescue Vintage linen that is unsaleabe so this is definitely going to be a project for me. I use a product called Retro Clean, it is especially for vintage linens that are stained or browned and the results are really quite amazing. It comes from America but I buy mine through a craft shop here and for anyone who loves vintage linens and fabric it is well worth the cost, it is not as cheap as a supermarket soaker but it is certainly superior by far.

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's great to hear that others rescue vintage textiles too! Thanks for the information about Retro Clean I'm going to find out if it's available in the UK. Good luck with future projects.☺️

[@ThistleheartCreations]

I've loved watching and listening while hand-stitching a cushion cover. Thank you for showing how you make them. Just beautiful 🥰

[@nancyw7431]

I might have missed it, but did you mention how you used the music in the background of the piece at about 21:26? I like that touch.

[@jucienebertasso6316]

Uau! Very beautiful! 👏🏼😍

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

Thank you 😌

[@lorrainemicah5079]

Absolutely love the teapot …..where can we find the design? Thank you

[@alliecreates6038]

Did you turn under the edges of the fabric pieces when you sewed them down with your sewing machine?

[@eleanorbirchellhughes]

Hi Allie, I'm reviewing older videos, so in answer to your question, no I don't turn under edges, I overlap them slightly and then cover them with lace or ribbon.
