After I recently showcased a small old, decorative Schwalm cloth, an embroiderer shared two other noteworthy examples for me to post on the blog.
The first small cloth measures 26 cm x 26 cm. It is made of the finest fabric—with a centimeter thread count of 35.
The edges are turned under and secured with Blanket stitches. Attached to these are two rows of needlelace scallops.
One corner of the small cloth is embroidered with a typical Schwalm motif. A heart and a tulip adorn delicate openwork Rose stitch patterns.
The owner can be very proud of this little gem with its intricate workmanship.
