Comments: Rectangular needle worked piece of linen loosely woven canvas, with embroidered green diamonds and ground with light red strawberry-type motifs added in the center of each diamond. The embroidery is not completed on one of the short end. The finished portions of the embroidery form a 'V' shape, leaving two exposed canvas triangles on either side of the 'V' with only two outlines of diamonds as well as a strawberry item decorating them. The long edges have been turned and hemmed as well as about 1/2' of the finished short end of the piece.
