77 Years in the making
How are you? I hope you are well. Today I am writing to tell you about my latest Youtube video. This is the video I am most proud of and I hope you will enjoy watching it as I tell you the story of a project that took 77 years to complete!
Finishing a 1940s Embroidered Tablecloth
This week's video is the story behind my Gran's treasured embroidered tablecloth. She only completed just over half of it when she was in her 20s and never finished it in her lifetime. I know how much she loved and treasured this piece, it meant so much to her.
There was something about the design that absolutely captured her heart, so why then did she never finish it? Today's video will unpacked the details, share the ups and downs and also some interesting discoveries about how things were in 1948 if you were an embroiderer.
Back in 2020 when I started my channel I shared this tablecloth for the first time and attempted to finish it but very quickly gave up. Something was seriously holding me back, and I haven't attempted to pick it up again until now. Can I finish it and can I do it justice? It was an emotional rollercoaster and a journey I will never forget.
