I know the girl symbolizes love, marriage and fertility. Just off the top, I think it was a wedding gift to someone who married in 1983. That sure opens up the story to a number of speculations.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-10247197495651824122015-01-28T06:30:35.150-06:002015-01-28T06:30:35.150-06:00Funny...it makes me more than cross...good one.

Happens all the time in Estate Sales and in downsizing.

Probably had no idea of the hours that went into making something so special. I'm thinking it is probably Pennsylvania Dutch. I made a Shaker one for my son and DIL. It had some similar images.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069292966849653704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-49976579166846926582015-01-27T07:26:53.272-06:002015-01-27T07:26:53.272-06:00I think I tried cross stitch once and it made me c...I think I tried cross stitch once and it made me cross. Far too tedious for these fumble fingers. I have some very nice cross stitch given to me by friends, and we also have one made by Ray's grandmother - so it's quite old. I appreciate the patience in the work.

I can't imagine doing that or tatting or lacemaking. Way beyond my patience level. lol Sure glad you got it. It's lovely!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.com
