Description

This is a cream colored linen table cover with a crocheted edging in cotton cream colored lace; it is a small kind of crown like looking design. This cloth has a great deal of embroidery work on it. There are three large butterflies spaced equally apart around the edges. They are outlined in black and have oranges, blue, and yellow for the bodies and their antennas are white. These are very intricate work. Running each direction from these are green design lines interspersed with blue and yellow shapes. where this ends there are pink and white Shasta daisies with yellow centres. On the very edge (underneath all the above) are embroidered small lines in orange.
