[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4295824, member: 13464"]Fun pieces! The first item (pillow sham) looks like it is the oldest of the bunch, hand embroidered and probably made from "stamped goods". Circa late 1800's - early 1900's. Photo #1-2 Photo #3-4 are hand done filet net - could be an import - but also could have been done by a family member... circa 1920 is common. Photo #5-6 are hand done crochet I agree with Bookahoo re: Photos #7-8 the printed item with the lace edge. The lace edge is machine made; no telling who made the piece/ with or without the trim. It does look hand applied... so possibly sewn on by your grand. Photos #9-10 - also hand done crochet Photos #11 - 12 - are they the same piece? If so, then, it is hand crochet - as #12 is. Photos #13-18 - appear to be American style embroidery - often worked on stamped goods - real popular in the 40's and 50's. Often given as gifts to friends - embroidered by the giver... but often made for their own home. I also agree with Debora re: the petit point tea towels. They were undoubtedly an import. #19 Photos #20 - 21 and the large unfinished basket of flowers also appear to be American style embroidery - often worked on stamped goods - real popular in the 40's and 50's.
