Do you have any more info on its names or origin?

There is one for each state and it includes the shape of the state (to be embroidered) the state bird, to be embroidered, and the state flower (TBE) as well as the year it entered the union and the number it was entering the union. Any idea of the year this was made or of its origins. The person who gave it to be auctioned bought it at a local auction. THe embroidery thread was in an envelope from a local bank postmarked 1982.

Would it be turkey red and poison green? <br /><br />Apart from the reproduction fabrics, I have seen a Grass Green and Chinese Red in Kona cottons which I thought were the two solids I would like to use in a Red & Green applique quilt.Sujata Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342637667662268215noreply@blogger.com
