Cushion cover c.1950s


Possibly worked from an iron-on transfer onto beige linen.

Floral design worked in satin stitch, stem, some buttonhole & cross stitch (to secure strands of thread). 

Multi coloured & uses stranded cotton, 3 strands.

Size 17.5” width x 18.75” length (44cm x 47.5cm)

(The edges are now all fraying & likely it has been unpicked from its backing)

Book cover c.1990

The background currently here is one stitched as a kit & now pending to make into a book cover.
