Description

A tan, dark indigo, and natural linen plaid. The three pieces were what was left from a larger linen bed curtain or table cloth. Most hems are machine stitched but there are two original hems. The initials suggest something small rather than bed curtains. Larger piece is two machine sewn together and has what appear to be tack holes in the center. Marks are just above original rolled bottom(?) hem. These could have been part of the valance of bed hangings or used as furniture check. Initials of "M I" in cross stitch. Piece B of A, B, & C.
