Way back when, women took great pride in their "handwork". There was tatt'n, sewing, embrodery, quilting, needlepoint, etc. Some were extremely good at it, and some were, well........let's don't go there. They often used scripture verses as their subjects like the one in the photo. All of this good stuff made a womans home a place of pride, comfort, and beauty. Sometimes the work was given as gifts. Sometimes it was used for decoration. Sometimes it was used for some functional purpose. All in all, it was much appreciated by all who viewed it.
