Early Crazy Quilt Fragment with Wonderful Embroidered Cat in Period Lemon Gold Frame porcelain candleholder 1880s-1900Love at first sight with this charmer, much better and with more pop in hand than in photos. I think the embroidery on the kitty could be called stumpwork, with a fair amount of relief to it, done in wool I believe, to well capture a sense of furriness! Mustard and cream, brown and black, with a thinner white thread used for its fine whiskers and as an outline around the entirely body. With red thread representing a ball the cat is batting around.
