Crewel Found Treasure
Treasures on wall
Earlier this week I wrote about the wonderful found treasure I got at a thrift shop – 50 states embroidered squares ready for quilting. (See that here.)
Today I want to share the recent find I got at a Yard Sale just a couple of blocks from where I live. This beautiful piece of crewel is framed and just delightful. I brought it home cleaned the glass and hung it right by the needlepoint treasure I found a couple of years ago.

I love these handmade works of art.
Needlepoint Found Treasure – Detail
Maybe it’s because I understand the time and effort it takes to create such lovely things. But I really feel sad for the families that are not keeping these treasures made by their loved ones. Sad. I keep saying I am not adding anything else to my collection but when I see these extraordinary treasures I just have to save them.
