Pretty Stitchery

So much work goes into this stitchery! Look at this lovely floral embroidered work of art. It was designed by Elizabeth Bauman for Better Homes and Gardens in 1969:
This is from a pillow top I found at a thrift store:
I love this one! From an old magazine advertisement for One-A-Day Vitamins:
And this dragon applique is from an old ad, as well:

I truly admire the people who have the talent and patience to create these.
