    Interesting. Looks like the embroidery is done on wool and not cotton.
    Are you able to tell for sure what the material is?

    LOL! In actuality I didn't say "Vintage", or "Framed" BUT #1 mistake on forums is NOT to read previous posts:

    Satin-stitch, if I remember correctly.

    It is definitely satin stitch on the smaller petals and the leaves and whipped stem stitch on the stems. But, why are we saying metallic thread? Could it not be silk thread? I have a count-cross stitch made by my 3rd great grandmother and the threads shine just like those in the frames.

    The color is leaching onto the wool. And the reciprocal of the flower is pretty cool. Screenshot_20200409-154137_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20200409-154517_Gallery_resize_59.jpg

    The first flowers look to me like poppies, a native flower and the CA state flower much loved; the second flower to me looks like a native prairie flower echinacea or black eyed Susan perhaps.
