Comments
This is a Pennsylvania Dutch Fraktur, a family tree, for one line in my husband's family. I used Lydia Quigley's great pattern and adapted it to fit the image of one we have in our family, added names and silk embroidery, and the tree on the back. Thank you, Vera, for not letting me get off track. This is a gift for my husband.
