"Friendship Pillow" is a needlepoint artwork created by Max Fernekes in 1939. The piece features a charming array of animals, flowers, and other motifs stitched in colorful threads onto a beige fabric ground. This detailed needlepoint, likely intended for decorative use, exemplifies the craft tradition of hand-stitched textiles.
