Embroider my World Mustard Gold - a photo on Flickriver

            When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions.  She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.

Amongst the gifts I was given for Christmas was a pretty ribbon of yellow and white embroidered daisies, and a ribbon of pale yellow and salmon pink embroidered daisies.  These then inspired me to create the current series of bobbins, of which this is the latest one. However this time the bobbin and the antique embroidered floral ribbons were already mine.  I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered doily with a Dewhurst's Sylko Mustard Gold reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954.    

Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world.  Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
