Mother’s tablecloth for name-day celebration

Every July I and my mother celebrated our name-days. Mother laid the table with a beautiful cloth and put a vase with summer flowers on it. My grandfather came with a small gift and our neighbours came with more flowers. The kildren got cherry syrup and the grown-ups got coffee, one cup, two cups, three cups. What a joy!!

Tablecloth in rough linen with lace and a nice embroidery in stem-stitches, satin-stitches and knots. It is embroidered in cotton and silk. From the early 50ies.
