[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 455998, member: 8569"]The support is what we call canevas with about 15-20 threads and is linen(my wife complete the post:bookworm:) made about 100 years ago and drop stitched, design coming from the models books used for school or at home from 1880 to 1950 where this patterns are illustrated. It's like the apprentice works for girls from those dates, the red color used is from the most used thread which is used for initials etc… When it was actual, english spoken say "red work" now, and it can be an exercise as a part for a decorative band used in home, provenance can be from everywhere you can found booklets models, the greek band was used currently. I make a picture from a sampler later which has those embellishments.[/QUOTE]
