About this item

Deerfield Massachusetts artist Ellen Miller’s (1854-1929) sketchbook includes a drawing of this pattern. There are sketches identified as “Monterey, California,” two pages earlier in the book, suggesting that this design was probably inspired during her California trip in 1909. Miller was co-founder of the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework, which was active during the national Arts and Crafts Movement (1875-1920).
