I found this spread in Ohio about a year ago. Ripped and dirty, with very worn fringe, I knew I had to rescue. In one of the photos you can see where I hand stitched and repaired the spread. I also show the back of the spread where you get a very good look at the embroidery. Very thick and heavy thread used to make the knots and the tufted work. The ground fabric is cotton, very heavy and strudy. I have no idea of the date for something like this. The fringe around 3 sides was worn and missing in most areas. It easily broke when pulled just a little. I chose to remove all the fringe, but I have kept an example.
Beautiful! Thanks for saving this treasure.
