This is an old pattern. It was published by "The Designer Publishing Company Inc." in New York. This design is for a cutwork tabletopper. I've never tried cutwork and I would like to try it but I think I'll try it on something smaller first. I have other vintage cutwork patterns which are a little more simple than this one. These pretty little peacocks could be embroidered with simple outline stitch.

Transfer Pattern 7
Such pretty towel designs! I love pretty handmade linens. They fun to stitch and they work up quickly so they make nice little gifts.

I've never been big on the whole "His & Hers" thing. It was really popular back in the 30's - 60's. But for the 25 cents I paid for this complete transfer, I just couldn't leave it there. I don't know if I'll ever stitch it, but it's a nice addition to my collection.

More designs for pillowcases. Back in the old days, you could purchase what was called "pillow tubing" by the yard. It was fabric for pillow cases, woven in a tube and all you had to do was finish the ends.
When I make pillowcases now, I just go to WalMart and buy a pair of white pillowcases already done. Unfortunately, they have a 3 inch hem on them so the design isn't exactly where I want it. They're simple enough to make so one of these days I'll start making my own. You know, when "time" starts growing on a tree out in my backyard!

Another beautiful crinoline lady with a crocheted skirt! Superior Transfers and Walkers Transfers are a little more elusive than Vogart or Aunt Martha's so I was thrilled to find a bunch of them.
