About this item

This wallhanging was created by the Deerfield (Massachusetts) Society of Blue and White Needlework during the national Arts and Crafts Movement, which encouraged a return to handcrafts and simple designs of the past in the midst of an increasingly industrialized world. This wallhanging is a pleasing blend of the apple tree with its modern design, and the colonial crewelwork pattern of flowers and leaves under it.
