Vintage Embroidery Transfers — Elephants

Posted on July 27, 2014July 31, 2015 by Martha

Who doesn’t love elephants, and these are just so cute. I’ve been organizing and cataloging my transfer collection, and I’m also trying to scan and clean at least some of them at the same time. As usual, click images to enlarge.

Laura Wheeler 740, Kitchen Towels

No instructions with these Laura Wheeler transfers, since they were cut and loose, but there was a cute newspaper clipping from 1934.

    Thanks! I especially like the Laura Wheeler designs. Maybe because I’m a child of the 1930s.

    I find your blog very interesting – the images bring with them such evocation of different historical times. I too love elephants and have embroidered several designs of my own which you might like to see http://www.addisonembroideryatthevicarage.co.uk/2013/03/08/embroidered-elephant/ and http://www.addisonembroideryatthevicarage.co.uk/2012/08/04/elephant-embroidery/
    Thank you for showing so many lovely images.
