Unusual Society work with a christmas theme selling not one I've seen before very rare and done in silks C. about 1890 ideal for a xmas pillow!!
I have not seen this pattern before of societwork have you?
Featuring holiday bells this measures 22" X selling 23". The condition is as shown, there are no holes but there are storage stains that I have not washed out. One of my favourite very polite clients washes these by hand but I generally just steam them when I'm going to sew with them and either cut out or sew around the marks like this, but if you felt like treating it that gamble is up to you.
I would suggest cutting out the central holiday bells and reappliquing onto a similar piece of linen for a holiday pillow. The embroidery is very well done and then you don't have to feel you have to hand soak this etc.
Work smarter not harder! I could see this used in Fashion as well pillow making.
