Mary J. Newill (1860-1947) had many talents and excelled at embroidery. Her large, detailed pictorial scenes featured ornamental landscapes. Her teaching style included having several students collaboratively on a single work. Small animals, trees, cottages, and birds were common themes. The buttons in the design would have been manufactured during her lifetime.
