    I think this needle work is about 100 years old. Any idea on its value?
    Thanks

    It appears to be a Chinese embroidery on silk or a silk-like fabric. Very possibly new or new-ish. A photograph of the back would be helpful to assess quality.

    Once I asked a question concerning a silk chinese embroidery to one of asian antique forums. They helped me me to date it is as post-1950 because of the type of dye that was used for pink flowers. Mine was synthetic. If the flowers are bright magenta-like pink then most likely it is newish.

    This was almost certainly made in Canada.

    It looks like what I call "vintage last week", i.e. fairly recent.

    Embroidery machine work? Which means newer. Can you give us a size of it?

    Okay, I'll bite - why do you believe this piece is Canadian-made? And as suggested, pics of the back would be useful, and better pics of the front...
