White Threads FlossTube #29 – Auntie Gen’s sentimental pieces

We’ve just had a long weekend here, to celebrate the Queen’s birthday (which is nowhere near this date!). In our state, travel restrictions have been relaxed a bit, which meant we were able to travel to Sydney to see my daughter and other relatives. While there, I saw my aunt who had some family textiles to give to me. They were from my Auntie Gen. In amongst them was a box labelled “Sentimental Pieces”, which were samples of needlework made by Auntie Gen and other family members. I share them with you in this video.

Episode notes:
If you, like my Auntie Gen, or great, great, great (and maybe some more) Auntie Mag, also haven’t yet mastered mitred corners, you can find instructions on how to make them in the following books of mine:
Portuguese Whitework
Sardinian Knotted Embroidery
Early-Style Hardanger
Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway
