I put this embroidered tablecloth on my grandparents'
diningtable.
My mother told me that her mother-in-law, my
grandmother, put this on her kitchen counter on Sundays,
as a way of showing that Sunday was different from the
other days of the week.
We think the embroidery was done by my paternal aunt
Kari, but it could also have been made by my grandmother.
These days, in most Norwegian homes, I doubt that an
embroidered tablecloth is placed on the kitchen counter
on Sundays.
