This is a little piece of needlework that I found in a bag of scraps I bought. I've had it for several years tucked into my orphan blocks(vintage). I got to thinking lately about needlepunch, and wondered if this might not be that. Soooo, I dug it out. But what I found is that it isn't needlepunch, but embroidery. Not like any I've seen tho. I took close ups of both the front and back, and as soon as the batteries charge I'll snap a pic of what I think the stitcher used to make this neat piece. It's obviously "cut away from" some bigger piece, and I'm pretty sure it's been used quite abit...the red was no doubt brighter back when it was done. I'm guessing maybe 1940's??? Anybody have an idea?? Anne B. just left a comment saying it looked like it was done in chain stitch, so I checked closer. It's hard to tell(the piece looks like it has been ironed..frequently..the stitches lay very flat) and yes ! *VBS*, indeed, it IS chain stitching...all of it !!! It's so neat on the lasso, the stitches follow the curve perfectly. Thanks Anne!!
