Pillow Sham
name: label: maker
content: Norris, Phebe Smith
notes: label: Description
content: A pillow sham with red braid carefully stitched to it in a pattern. In the center are the letter “P” and two floral and leaf motifs. A stamping block was used to transfer the border design to the fabric. The lines of an earlier design are still on the fabric. In the 1850’s and 1860’s ads in Godey’s Lady’s Book mention that the blocks were used for braiding.
