Finding Old Embroideries

As I posted previously, I have been seeing some old embroideries recently.  It reminded me of some table cloths, place mats and doilies that I made in my youth.  So I went to look for them.
I not only found some work I had done

but some my mother had done also.

There was even one celebrating Melbourne's centenary - which I had to look up to see when it was: 1934.  I assume it was embroidered by my mother.

When I looked at the picture, I realised I hadn't needed to look it up, the date was on the embroidery.

Some of them are stained and I might have go to Patra's Place and see if I can get any advice on cleaning them.  She talked to us about what she had done to clean the ones she had on display but I didn't take much notice at the time.
