About this work

This drawing shows two folded fabric shapes with bright floral patterns. The flowers—blue, pink, and yellow—fill the space between dark borders. A small corner has a single stem with three flowers and leaves, drawn separately. The designs look like they’re meant for stitching, with careful lines marking each petal. The paper is old and slightly yellowed, with handwritten numbers in the corners. Next, look up embroidery to see how these patterns might have been stitched.
