This blog was created to tie in with the exhibition of my linens held at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, Vic. from August 29 to September 16, 2012. The collection is still growing, so this blog will be updated on a regular basis as I accumulate more items. Many of these are either partially complete, or not embroidered at all. I accquire my linens from a variety of sources including opshops, garage sales, eBay, and people who know I have a passion for vintage embroidery.

"Wartime Productions"
I have two unworked doilies which are a mystery to me, and nobody can shed any light on them. They both have the words 'Wartime production' stamped on the side of the design. I would love to know more about the meaning of these.
Semco donated to the cost of the war. maybe these particular items helped out in that way
ReplyDeleteSemco packaged embroidery floss with a tag saying War Time...but they also do have Semco ...so still not necessarily solving these pieces.
