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.

First World War memorabilia.
These were intended to be picture frames. One is left wondering if the reason they are unfinished was that the men whose photos were supposed to be framed, never came home.
Gina, I have a great satin tambour embroidery that I think is WW1 vintage. It's in a frame but I'll dig it out of the spare bedroom closet tonight and take a picture of it to show you.
too sad...where ever did you find these fantastic items? J

Jan, I found these two on eBay. They are not as uncommon as one would think. T/lady, I look forward to seeing your photo!
