  4. Look forward to reading your posts. And wonder if the wholecloth mini called Prairie Flower#402 I purchased from the stencil Co. is one of your designs and in the collection of the National Museum of American History?

    1. Angela: No the Prarie Flower was not adapted from one of the Smithsonian Collections. I actually got the begining of the design from an old (1970's) catalog of French embroidery designs. I have held on to the catalog all these years because it contains wonderful designs of historical nature as well as themes through the years. The picture appeared to have been in the style of a sofa cushion of around the 1920 era.
