Recreating an old embroidered tablecloth
The skilled hands of the Ribisli team – or rather, I should say embroidery artists – brought us great joy by re-stitching our nearly 80-year-old tablecloth, which preserves the handiwork of my grandmother and mother.
It was no easy task: transferring the pattern, selecting embroidery threads that best matched the original from the ones available today, and last but not least, embroidering the unique Kalocsa-style motifs on time.
One thing Ribisli couldn’t do: replicate the clumsy stitches of my childhood hands – because what they created with care and love is simply perfect.
My mother was deeply moved as she looked at the tablecloth, which brings back so many old memories, and now it decorates our living room—thanks to the Ribisli team, Anikó, and Andrea. Thank you!
