Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is Embroidery. Today’s picture is a vintage leather glove I got from my mother in law. Of course, my mother in law gave me 2 gloves but I just took a picture of one. Those gloves are very delicate and have this awesome flowers embroidery. They are made from a very soft and white leather. The gloves are super tiny so of course, my huge man hands will never fit inside, even if I lose a crazy amount of weight. The Embroidery is very colourful and beautiful as you can see. I hope you will like it as much as I do. And since I’m a hoarder, I will keep those tiny gloves for ever….even if they will never fit me. I don’t know for you but this picture gives me Adams Family vibes, and I love it !
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

Today's theme for "Crazy Tuesday" is "embroidery". I based this on one of my chaffinch in flight photographs. The background fabrics were printed with acrylic paint and I've free motion machine embroidered and hand stitched the chaffinch.

I like stitching nests from all the embroidery pieces that end up in my bowl, many are too small to rewind on their cards, (most often, I'm just too lazy) or too long to throw away
Yes, as you can see, "Bedford Drab" really was the name of a Dewhurst Sylko Cotton thread. Only the British could make drab sound so elegant!
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully delicate vintage laces from the 1930s comes from my own collection of antique notions. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with a Dewhurst's Sylko Sand reel of cotton and a Bedford Drab reel of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

Close up of embroidery (within the 3” rule) on my trusty Summer handbag. I bought it at Océanopolis in Brittany, France almost 11 years ago (our last proper holiday). It goes into the washing machine each Autumn & gets stored until the following May. This bag has featured in Macro Mondays before 3 years ago but I thought it would work OK for today’s theme of "curves" so it’s getting another airing HMM!

“Smile on Saturday”. “Bicolora”.
Finished! I decided against adding the text, this super soft gingham played quite nicely with the grey I think. Now onto the more ambitious piece-yikes!
In the shop now! Please see my profile for details.
