Wonderful bargain-and it is so nice.

Great Find!! Treasure it!

It is a Mola and the stitching method is called reverse applique. I have several molas that I purchased years ago.

Pretty! You got a great bargain and a lovely piece of work.
|
Wow! What a treasure! That is just beautiful!

Looks like it took a lot of work and time and is beautiful. Lucky you. Can't beat the price. Sue

What a find. I haunt thrift stores for this reason. Every now and then
one finds something like you did and it went to a home who will care for it. |
Wow! you really got a find there. never seen anything like it before

The center is similar to a mola. The red is cut and stitched under and then the little diamond shapes are added on top. The rest of it does not look at all like a mola. and yes, I would love to know the history of the piece. It is so unique and only a few of the stitches show like on the greens. I wish I could stitch that tiny. Oh well, who knows someone may come along that does recognize exactly where it came from. a treasure for sure. Thanks for all of you that said it looks like....
