One example of late are antique friendship paintings of flowers: a wonderful study of variations on a theme

Happy Hand-sewn Butterly Potholder red and green mask One example of late areJust a happy thing, which has many years life in it yet as a potholder, though I might just hang it on the wall. I especially love the use of green thread to wrap its body, detail eyes, and give it floppy antenna! 6" l x 6 1 4" wide with wings spread; 1 2" thick. A few stains on the backside but overall very good condition, with no lost or loose stitches that I can see.
