Vintage Embroidery inspiration

Lately I have got into embroidery. Well, so far I haven't done any but I am learning and reading lots about it. I went to visit my auntie and she showed me a few table cloths she made when she was young. I really like this piece because it is modern looking and it could work in 2 colours too.

Then, my good friend Nati invited me to join her and her mother (Manolita) to learn how to embroider "Yugoslavian stisch". Figure out! Yugoslavia isn't a country anymore so this must come from a looooong time ago.

Again, I really like this style of embroidery because it looks pretty modern and you could do this in many different colour shades. It is simple but cute.
