    Georgiana Brown Harbeson  - artist and craftsperson.
    She learned embroidery at age 7 at a convent school in Quebec. Trained as a painter, in the 1920s and ’30s she developed crewel and needlepoint designs for women’s magazines and was commissioned by the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, among other churches, to design cushions and kneelers. Works such as
    Minnehaha
    are found in the collections of the James A. Michener Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
    Dated 1933 - an early one
    size is shown in photos - nice large.
    Gorgeous unique stitchery
    The colors are bright
    good overall vintage shape with a few small stains at the bottom - see photos.
    and a few very light stitch loss - also see photos.
    I did not try to remove stains, selling as is.
    Thanks
