Laura Wheeler Embroidery Transfer – Kittens

Posted on March 18, 2010May 6, 2012 by Martha

Here is Laura Wheeler mail order transfer, #2307, dated 1939 — a project for sewing and embroidering a laundry bag with an appliqued and embroidered pocket for hankies. On the original transfer, the HANKIES lettering was not on the pocket so you could iron it separately onto the applique fabric. Probably most of you (with the exception of maybe Barbara and Jan) do not need a special laundry pocket for your hankies, but I was thinking the design could be used for other things — like a cute apron with a personalized pocket. This is another one of those big transfers — around 18″.

    Oh, that is a cute transfer, Martha! I could see snagging a couple of those flowers to use on a smaller version of a pocket for a little summer jumper for Baby Doll. I’ll have to add that to my list!

    I love the idea of a pocket spilling over with pretty flowers…
    Those kittens playing around the flowers are so adorable!

    Well, that is lovely. But that is a lot of embroidery. Even for me.

    I could skip the pocket and just label the whole bag for “hankies”! Two of my faves, kitties and hankies!

    I love Laura Wheeler. Just found your website. I love all things vintage. Wanted to post about your tablecloth find from a while back. I dream of using all the beautiful embroidered and cross-stitched tablecloths as medallion centers for a quilt someday. I have pictures on my facebook page of a quilt I made using vintage dresser scarfs. Hope you can see it. I should post them on my blog also. New to blogging, don’t have the hang of that yet. Thanks for sharing.
