About this work

This drawing shows three folded fabric shapes with bright floral designs. The flowers—pinks, blues, and yellows—fill the spaces, framed by a blue braided edge. Tiny green leaves and stems connect the blooms, and a few scattered flowers float above the main shapes. The blue braided trim looks like it could be used for real embroidery. The paper has handwritten notes in the corner, maybe for tracking the design. If you like floral embroidery, look up passementerie next.
