Description

27 x 27 A hand-stitched folk art textile, likely intended as a wall hanging or small decorative lap quilt. The piece is constructed on a light blue floral-printed cotton ground adorned with various hand-appliqued shapes, including hearts and stylized pocket or vessel forms. These appliques are made from several scrap fabrics including a multi-colored floral print on cream, blue and white polka dot, solid royal blue, and solid white. Each applique is secured with visible white hand-stitching and features a decorative tufted yarn tie in the center, primarily in red with some white accents. The textile is finished with a navy blue fabric binding. The reverse consists of a single panel of solid navy blue fabric, showing the entry points of the yarn ties and the hand-stitched border.
