<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9978899, member: 8267"]It does look like the design has been cut out of a larger piece of petit point done on canvas, which has been mounted on a newer piece of cloth. The "blanket stitch" describes the stitching around the edges of the design. This was done to keep the edges from unravelling, but would probably not been have been used in the original work. Without its original context it would be difficult to suggest a probable date based on subject matter alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
