I was going to take them to a charity shop, but...
Does anyone out there embroider? Would you like a bundle of iron-on transfers? Some come with a colour guide, most are simply those tissue paper blue printed transfers, make up your own colour scheme.
There are two copies of the dog.
A whole heap of other designs, some large, some small.
One set of love birds.
All are available and free to a good home. Just leave a comment if you would like any/all of them.
Don't want them Elaine but I have find memories of embroidering similar. I think I've still got a tablecloth which my Mother embroidered with the crinoline lady.
ReplyDeleteThe crinoline lady is very evocative, I remember an aunt having one on a mirror, as a child I thought it was the prettiest mirror in the world!
DeleteThat particular Crinoline lady turns up regularly on tablecloths I have bought/sold.
DeleteGoodness knows who designed her, BB, but I bet they would be surprised to know that she is still about and very much enjoyed.
DeleteOh my, I would love these transfers, as you know I am always embroidering something and would make good use of them, Please use my email on the blog if you need an address.

Excellent! I am delighted that they will be going to a good home, Briony. I still have another hour of looking after my grandchildren, but will check out your email later.
DeleteLoved the comment on the hoover. lol

Ha! I never hoover when it is raining or snowing, too cold, windy, or baking hot. ;)
DeleteI'd not be able to use them. But oh such pretty old designs. They bring back memories. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone will be able to make good use of them
Sweet of you to do this.

They have languished on my shelf for far too long. I only rediscovered them because I was hunting for a particular fabric for one of the fairies. One tiny bit of de-cluttering, I feel better already!!
DeleteIf there is a teddy bear one...I would love it!!
ReplyDeleteI have just worked my way through them, Bettina - not a teddy bear in sight, sorry!
DeleteI don't embroider, but I remember when these transfers were given away with magazines, stapled into the centre of the mags. My mother used them and made some lovely table cloths in her day.

I used to love doing embroidery, Margaret. My eyesight is not up to it now and my fingers are not so nimble, either. I even embroidered a few bits for my bottom drawer - now that really dates me!
DeletePlease don't enter me for the giveaway, Elaine; as I say, I don't embroider - they could go to a much better home, someone who can make really good use of them.

My wife has used them in the past to make blingy tee shirts
ReplyDeleteNow there's an image, Bill - the Church Explorer in a blingy tee shirt!
DeleteBeautiful transfers, I love the Scottie dog but sadly it would probably languish on a shelf so I won't take it away from someone who would use it.
ReplyDeleteI think we are fairly similar - so many craft desires, not nearly enough time to do them justice!
DeleteI would love one of the Scottie dog if at all possible. It looks so like my Nanna's Suzy from when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteHello Kim, Then you must have one! If you email your address to me at: flissandmax @ gmail . com (remove the spaces!) I will be happy to send 'Suzy' to you.
DeleteIf I was younger I would love to have those designs to embroider. Sadly, the fingers wouldn't be able to cope with needlework now.
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame, Valerie. I confess that my fingers are definitely not as nimble as they used to be, either.
DeleteOh, these are so pretty. I have a book of these transfers too, and like you said, will never get around to using them. My mother used to embroider, all the time! We would go to a little "dime store" in the small town where she lived and pick out something new to embroider, any time I was spending the night with her. I miss those days. Thank you for the offer.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful the little things which unleash some lovely memories, Henny. I have just found up some old knitting patterns which belonged to my mother, they whisked me back in time to her ever clicking knitting needles. I couldn't believe how she could follow a pattern, chat, or even watch television, all at the same time as producing super-fast and very beautiful knitting!
DeleteWould absolutely love them!!
ReplyDeleteI found a huge box of Weedon´s embroidery patterns years ago in an antique shop. Most are in their original covers, but I have used quite a few but by tracing off the transfer on the light box. Lovely bit of history xcx
