According to her shop description she’s got stuff in museums all over the place. So much for curators.
Who are the people who spend this much on crap like this?

1. Sloppy work reads as funny typo.
2. Poor planning leads to smushed letters at the end of lines.
3. Even the intended sentiment is kind of fucked up.
4. Destruction of a valuable antique.
5. Insane price.
All this piece is missing is a glittered turd.
(That said, it probably looks better than what it would look like if I’d done it. Then again, I’m not selling hand embroidered stuff on Etsy for a reason.)

So, I can take all those old stained sheets from when my kids were wee toddlers (get it? “wee”) and embroider crap on scraps of it and sell it for $225?
Awesome. I’ll pay for their college yet!

okay, not a big deal but super confused as to where her stuff is actually displayed- there is a peabody essex museum in salem, ma (i have been to it- it’s not far from my apt.) & then there is a peabody historical society and museum in peabody, ma. i dunno where the one in salem is that she is mentioning? i ask this only b/c i may need to go visit in person & see what items are on…

The text is stitched so thickly, it’s puckering the re-appropriated linen. You really don’t need to use a full-thickness skein of embroidery thread! It lreaks my iheout.

This one really takes the cake folks! Not only is it not even good but I wouldn’t sell the linens alone at a garage sale just because they are filthy! Where did they find this stuff at the Good Will bin store?

It ain’t skill or materials – the only explanation is that this artiste thinks that her words enhance the value of this by 100 times. I would rather wear a be-dazzled puff-paint tshirt dress than look at this.

The reason for the high price tag is because the fabric is “upcycled” casket liner.
Vintage casket liners are like diamonds when it comes to the reason for it’s high value. Yo gotta dig to get it.

Pennsylvania should be ashamed of itself. The only reason this person hasn’t been beaten about the head with embroidery hoops is that the Mennonites and Amish don’t believe in violence and they also don’t believe in the Internet.

I have a large stack of hand-embroidered linens that my grandmother made. I can’t fathom using them as a canvas for my mediocre art and my tyro embroidery skills.
However, I’m sure there’s a lot of this stuff available at garage sales and consignment/antique stores for pennies these days.
I wouldn’t even do this to my father’s old handkerchiefs…

I applaud the braveness to suggest to hang this lovely work with pins. Its so brave, & unexpected. Most people would have gone the easy route & said to frame it or something silly like that. Old&tired.
But not you-you took the fresh, bold, new approach of going for a modern twist on hanging. Pearlized pins. Bloody brilliant. I commend you.

You’re right. Don’t know how I overlooked that. It does say “hand embroidered.”
But it (and most of the rest of the items) sure looks machine-embroidered with a sewing machine, guided by hand (not an embroidery machine).
She teaches “photo embroidery” (2 hours for $160), which explains why those pictures done in thread are so much better than the crappy freehand stuff.
