Research in Progress Pillow-cover made of strips of linen and cotton, in red, blue, brown, yellow, and backed by a striped linen; lined in blue cotton. Strips forming the face of the pillow cover are embroidered in linen: red, black, green, yellow, etc., in a small geometric design. One of the red stripes is pieced with a small fragment of tie dyed cotton. Linen in stripes would appear to be hand-woven.
