[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 63957, member: 201"]Lovely embroideries! Based on the postal code, the items were framed sometime between 1943 and 1966/67. The shiny non-metallic threads are probably silk or rayon. Rather than appliques, I think some or all may have been cut from embroidered fabric. Maybe from Asian fabric? I think they look Chinese, but of course that doesn't mean they were made in China. Without seeing the back of the embroideries or seeing them close-up, I'd find it hard to tell if they were created by hand or machine.[/QUOTE]
