[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 403015, member: 85"]That's a beauty! I'd hang that. I am no where near the expert some of your are when it comes to textiles. So this is just my humble opinion: I believe whoever did this was a master at Needlepoint. Not painted canvas. Hand counted. What you are seeing is open work used as part of the color and design of the total piece. There are no knots, so all the pictures shown must be the front of the piece. I see different size and types of stitches as well as different yarn types. 1. Notice the green is one square the red takes two squares. 2. The open is used to highlight the shape of the flower and give texture. 3. The red thread looks like a heavier wool, where as the green looks thinner like a cotton/silk thread.
