Yes it was popular..long before home machine embroidery was even a gleam in someones eye!...more like 35+ years ago. I have some vintage pieces my DH's grandmother did. It is super cool looking!

My mother (84) still uses a table cloth my grandmother made for her 40years ago. I have an apron with a black poodle on it that she made for me - I'm getting some gingham on Monday to make the beautiful star design for myself. At this time of year I use many things that belonged to my grandmothers and this technique has sparked another wonderful memory for me. Thank you - I'll get her sewing machine out to finish off my project too!!!
I'm in Australia - isnt this board great, it shows we have many things in common all over the world.

Merry Christmas everyone!!
