I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this panel of mine, there are actually two of them, I have one and my sister has the other. This has been handed down in our family to the youngest daughter for many generations, however I don't know how many but I think it originally came over on a ship with family. After my mom passed away and it sat in the cedar chest for 30 years my sister and I carefully took the thread holding the two pieces together and she took one to her house and I have the other. We still have the thread that came out in one piece. Any way just curious if anyone has any history they could share. thank you
