Astrid put these dresser scrafs out in her house. Her Mema made them. Momma called them dresser scrafs. I never liked embroidery but lots of women I knew did this in the 70’s. It is lots of work.
They are beautiful, yes lots of work. I used them all the time years ago...such a pain to starch and iron. I have one that is only half done for the last 30 years...the floss is all wound up inside the project...it was such old floss I had to ask for help finding a match and a very nice local gal who reads my blog found exactly what I needed in her elderly mom stash!
