This pillow case is from Western Pennsylvania and belonged to one of my relatives. To be honest with you, I don’t know how the folk design was put onto this fabric. I like it though, and I am drawn to the design, as well as the texture of the look of the cotton fabric.
The pineapple, which represents hospitality, is found in each of the corners.
Happy Sunday to you!

What a pretty configuration — I don’t usually like pineapple motifs, but this one is lovely. Depending on how old it it, maybe done with wax?

I have had the pillow case for over 30 years now. I was thinking it was made 40-50 years ago, so wax may have been what was used! Thanks for the tidbit, Jill! Very Cool!
