My New Find

This isn't quilt related, but it is needlework. Yesterday my neighbors who are antique dealers gave their friends a preview before a sale they are going to have. Along with a rug, which is what I really was looking for, I bought this table. The needlepoint is Victorian, and, if you enlarge the picture, you will see some great images. There is a tear above the cat which I think I can just whipstich closed, and the gimp will probably need replacing, but that really isn't involved. I just love it, and I think quilters enjoy other forms of needlework, so I hope you like it, too. Some of the images are ones that I have seen before in a quilt book. I think it was one of the Pennsylvania ones. If I find that, I'll share those pics, too.
