<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 1520122, member: 23&quot;]My mother and her sisters did a lot of needlework and I started learning when I was 5.&nbsp; This is very similar to pieces that would date from the 40s-50s on to present day.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure it was a learning piece for someone.&nbsp; The embroidery thread should be a clue.&nbsp; Is it cotton or a modern blend?&nbsp; An experienced needleworker could tell you the age of the materials.&nbsp; Is there a sewing shop in your area that you could bring it to?&nbsp; I hope you realize that the sentimental value of the person who did it is worth more than you could get trying to sell it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Was it attached to the piece of calico or were you using that as a backdrop?&nbsp; If the latter, I recommend that you always show a photo of the item on a plain background so you don&#039;t confuse the eye of your viewer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
