The last Empress, the Soviet of Alexander Feodorovna, was an excellent craftswoman. In the free minute always embroidered, knitted, drawing. She always stayed at work.
This is confirmed by numerous sources, including photos of that time.
The Empress was engaged in needlework and trips on the yacht, and in his rest, and at any time when she fell out such an opportunity. Hence the apparent becomes that she loved her needlework.
His daughters empress also taught not to sit idle.
The great princessed should have been always busy, always be in action.
Wonderful work, embroidery came out from under their rapid pens.
In the family itself, Tatiana, the second tsarist daughter, the most skilled handwriter. She loved sewing, knit and embroider.
Mary perfectly drawn paints.
And even mischievous Anastasia quietly sat down behind knitting.
The sovereign was founded by the Society of needlework, whose members, ladies and ladies were supposed to make a certain number of things per year for the poor.
Since 1911, in many cities of Russia, the "Days of Flowers" began to be held, charitable bazaars, buffets worked, concerts.
The Empress itself organized four large bazaar in favor of tuberculous patients in 1911-1914; They brought a lot of money.
She, together with the great princesses, inhabited crafts, drawing and embroidered for a charity bazaar.
"The exhibition-bazaar act very well. Our things are bought before they appear; Each of us manage to make a pillow daily and the tire "- she wrote in a letter to the sovereign.
Probably, there are families in which they are stored and are transmitted as family relics of the man-made things of the Empress and her daughters purchased at these charitable bazaars!
I wish you to look at them!
Nowadays, the white flower day is reborn and passes in many cities of the country.
In the Southern Imperial Residence - the Livadia Palace - the holiday is held annually on the second Sunday for Easter, on the day of Mironositz wives.
I would like to believe that the ever-lost tradition will again fully rely in our country and our families, the love of needlework, creativity and charity will come back, and we will be able to transfer these knowledge to their children, spending more time with them for loved ones and useful activities.
