Maison Preston from Paris

Labels: clutch bags, clutches, custom, Maison Preston, Paris, recycled, recycling, tapestry, tote bags, vintage

Maison Preston from Paris uses vintage needlepoint canvases found in Paris and takes them home to North Carolina where she turns them into wonderful tote bags and clutches.

This gives new life and purpose to these durable tapestries. She also will turn your own vintage canvas that maybe your grandmother stitched into something new, but with great memories already built in.

Beautiful Recycling of Old Ribbon Sampler

Labels: recycled, recycling, ribbon samplers, Stitches.and.Style

These ribbon samplers were all the rage in the 1990-2000 era. This one was framed and glued onto backing, but it's been recycled into the back of a barn coat. It looks magnificent! (Click the right arrow to see the original being unglued as much as possible.)

Recycling Vintage Needlepoint

Labels: recycled, vintage

Terry saw this on Home Town, which is an HGTV program. If you don't have a Facebook account, a lady bought a house with a needlepoint kitchen backsplash which she saved during renovation, cleaned, made into a pillow and gave it to a lady who grew up in the house. That takes recycling vintge needlepoint to a new level!
