Tablecloths

This one isn’t about food, but what’s under it.
Scott’s Mom came to visit us for Thanksgiving and she brought us out some tablecloths that had belonged to Scott’s Grandmother who recently passed away. I am not a huge table covering person, but these cloths are SO awesome.

(Please don’t make fun of my (lack of) ironing skills.)

This one below is my absolute favorite

I can’t even imagine the time and talent it would take to stitch something like this.

I don’t know if Scott’s Grandmother made this, or if it was made for her, but you don’t see stuff like this anymore.

The fabric (linen?) is so delicate.

This one is a little sturdier, made of cotton, again with gorgeous embroidery.

Seriously!

This one is store bought I’m sure, but damn, how 70’s is this one? Awesome.

This is the most beautiful and delicate one. I have a similar one that my paternal Grandmother made for my maternal Grandmother. This one is so thin and fine and delicate.

Sort of afraid to use this one – what if we spill?

Seriously, they do NOT make them like this anymore.
