Look at this absolutely beautiful vintage Swedish Christmas embroidery I saw at the home of a friend today. It was her mother's and is very old. I loved the colours and the simple stitching. God Jul!
that is just beautiful! I read somewhere that St Stephans Day is celebrated on 26 December in Scandinavia, and that there is a tradition that St Stephan was a stable boy, hence the images of horses...
Yes, Sue, that is very lovely embroidery. I do like the softness of the colors of the fabric and the stitches. Aren't those horses fine? Now I will remember what Alison has written about St Stephen's Day, too.
Thank you all very much. And a very Happy 2016, too. xo
This is absolutely adorable! The colours are so bright and the horses are so sweet. I like the variety of stars! I have such embroidery treasures from my grand mothers and I keep them with love. Happy New Year, dear Sue! I wish you lots of laugh, health, inspiration and happy moments with your family! xox

How lovely! Those colours are so subtle yet bright aren't they?

How beautiful!
Aren't they gorgeous? The blue background has obviously faded but I don't know about the threads. It's a lovely combination, anyway.
Ah, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I must ask my friend...
