I found my grandma's stash of embroidery on gingham patterns. They were hiding with my cross stitching stuff. This was an article from the June, 1979 issue of Better Homes and Gardens.
The patterns they included were very simple geometrics:
Even better is the 1962 McCall's booklet, "Cross Stitch on Gingham":
This one has good simple patterns I'll share with you tomorrow.
What a treasure to find :-) I'm looking forward to the patterns.
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I need to find my little chicken scratch project from way, way back.
ReplyDeleteHi. My name is Susie, too, from the blog www.SusiesSunroom.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMy sister ran across your blog,when we were looking online to see which magazine had a cross stitch pattern that we used to make pillows with, and what year it was. We are posting about the gingham pillows from this pattern, on Friday Aug 16.
We are so glad you did your post!
