DQ Embroidered Doll Coverlet
c.1940 17 x 23 New England $225

What an endearing doll coverlet, lovingly made and carefully preserved in unused condition. The doll, teddy bear, rocking horse and train motifs have been skillfully worked using cotton floss in a variety of embroidery stitches, from French knots to outline, running, daisy, satin, and cross-stitching. Each motif has been hand outline quilted, and the white cotton background filled in with chevron quilting. The yellow 1/2 inch binding has been turned over from the back to the front. A wonderful example of 1940's design! Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
