An embroidered picture featuring an image of a homestead (a two and one half story three-bay house with a two story, three bay addition surrounded by a fence. The house is outlined in olive green and filled in with cream at the center and with yellow for the end walls and brown roofs. Lt. blue triangular pediments are found over the two brown doors. Red paths lead to two brown gates in the white fence. Flowers of blue, pink, and violet are found within the enclosed yard. Outside the gated fence are farm animals, cows, sheep?, ducks or geese, behind four small trees and a white rail fence. The house is depicted within a landscape consisting of various trees, birds, and an over-sized cat and butterflies (black with brown centers and white or yellow spots). A smaller building with two red chimneys is located on a hill to the right of the main house. Above the landscape scene are three large-scale flowering bushes (in brown, pink, red, blue, and yellow) approximately 6-1/2' high, the center one of which supports two multicolored birds. A narrow row of blue and white sky separates the landscape from the flowering bushes. At the bottom of the landscape, separated by a double row of olive stitches, is a 3/4' wide band with the name of the needleworker, her home- town, county, and state worked in dark navy or black stitches. Surrounding this entire center image is an outer border 3-7/8' wide featuring large floral designs in pink, dark pink, magenta, and non-synthetic mauve with yellow centers and several shades of green leaves. A 1/8'-3/16' wide brown border surrounds the whole. The picture is worked primarily in wool (with some silk) in cross-stitches. Chain stitches are used as outlining (around the butterfly, cat, birds, etc.) and herringbone (?) stitches are used in the borders.
