Item Description
Elizabeth Mead's authentic, old-time craft is embroidering with silk ribbon on antique doilies, as seen here; or, on occasion, she'll make hew own, new doily. All of her creations are one-of-a-kind because she never uses a pattern. In Elizabeth's words, "I just put the needle in and go!" She belongs to the Cape Cod Artisans' Guild and the Society of Cape Cod Crafters.
Though recently created, this hand-embroidered American flag created out of silk ribbon on an antique doily is a genuine piece of Americana.
