Crewel Embroidery c. 1937

This "Crewel Embroidery" by Helen E. Gilman, created around 1937, is a beautiful example of needlework art. The piece features a delicate floral border surrounding a central image of a bird perched on a branch. The artist, born in 1913 and who passed away in 1995, expertly crafted the design using various shades of red, green, yellow, and blue, resulting in a vibrant and visually appealing artwork. The intricate detail of the embroidery, particularly the feathered wings and floral patterns, showcases the artist's skill and patience. This crewel embroidery is a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional textile crafts and its ability to capture the essence of nature.
