Hand Stitching in New York



This piece of stitched material is in the photo album the Kendrick family so generously shared with me.  The note says, "G'ma Arnold made this before she left New York."  This G'ma would be Lora (Johnson) Arnold.  In the top photo a date has been written on the material, 186?; the fold hides the last digit.  Although the detail in the photo appears large, the piece actually is maybe 1 1/2 inch wide.  Tiny, precise stitching.
