Some are definitely turn of the century!!!<br /><br />As far as soaking your gorgeous embroidered construction-paper-backed flowers, I'd be afraid to soak them because of the construction paper bleeding or staining and damaging the beautiful embroidery. I also think that applying heat might bring stains to the front as well... OMG, they are soooo beautiful. <br /><br />I was bequeathed some absolutely gorgeous handmade laces and embroidered pieces, and the biggest problem (some lucky problem, huh???) is that it's so hard to USE them!!!<br /><br />These beauties have certainly found the perfect caretaker!!!<br /><br />I'm so happy for you!<br /><br />CarolynCarolynPhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561414352635851207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-89063471542763968482009-08-02T14:38:37.390-06:002009-08-02T14:38:37.390-06:00What a truly lovely collection of lace.

I'm still adjusting to our move to Rhode Island (my heart and my life are still in New Jersey and I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could). I read your blog everyday, always hoping you've had time to post.

I have a few pair of pillowcases where crochet and RR were joined and edge the bottom of the cases but nothing like that.<br /><br />Depending on the fabrics used on the beautiful embellishments you could soak them if you thought they would stand it or maybe try a fairly warm iron on the paper side and see if that would release the glue so they could be seperated. Or you could even leave the paper on them cut very close so once they were sewn down you wouldn't even know it was there. Like in the old quilts we find with the paper still attached.<br /><br />I am very happy for you and excited as well. Will add my name when you tell us to.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />FredaBFredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-77481799691956586282009-07-31T13:22:23.700-06:002009-07-31T13:22:23.700-06:00Oh Kathy, I wish I could have a Jen, too:)))
