About this work

This drawing shows a blank space framed by bright flowers and vines. The flowers are pink, purple, and yellow. The vines twist around the edges in a wavy line. Tiny leaves and berries fill the gaps between the flowers. The empty space was meant for embroidery patterns. This was likely used to plan designs for a garment. Look up *embroidery* to see how these sketches were turned into real stitches.
