Vintage 1960s Hand Embroidered & Tatted Pair of Posey Pillowcases

Sweet and cheerful, this pair of vintage pillowcases features beautifully hand embroidered floral “posey” garlands in bright, happy colors, dating to the 1960s–1970s. The design showcases delicate chain-like swags of flowers in pink, red, blue, purple, and orange, connected by leafy green vines and accented with scattered French knot dots. The trim has been hand-tatted in gold cotton.

The embroidery is in a classic mid-century palette—clear, saturated cotton floss colors that remain vibrant and unfaded. Each flower is worked in simple satin and straight stitches, giving the design a charming, slightly dimensional folk-art quality typical of home embroidery from this era

CONDITION: The pillowcases are freshly laundered and in excellent vintage condition with no holes or discolorations.
