pillow cover is just an amazing textile. This

is a 25 X 30 piece of white and very old

linen that was hand embroidered with a

prayer for the Lord's protection from evil

in German. Red and Blue threads worked

the design then another piece of linen was

hand sewn with tiny little stitches to the 

back to hide the embroidery stitching. These

cloths were simply laid across a pillow

during the day. The collector where we 

found this piece told us a sign of wealth

and affluence for Victorians was down.

The more down pillows and cushions

you had the higher your status. We find

only one issue on the 120 year old textile.

There is some light bleeding of the blue

thread on the first letter D. We took a

close up photo so please check. No 

other issues, stains, tears or problems.

All edges have a machine 1.25" lace trim. 

Arrives ready to drape on your bed pillow

or sew into a sham. Sale supports Vermont's
