The collection includes pet portraits executed in needlepoint, specifically a study of two Shelties inscribed Misty and Tara on the mount, and a portrait of a Border Collie inscribed Tammy. Wildlife subjects include a bald eagle perched on a branch and a vertical composition featuring garden birds, flowering branches, and a butterfly. A maritime scene depicts a three-masted sailing ship in cross-stitch on a blue sea, with the mount featuring silver-toned dolphin and ship appliques. A botanical sampler displays six fruit vignettes surrounding a central verse from the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful. The group also contains a landscape print or photograph depicting a dog and a sheep, and a decorative cream lace fan presented on a blue ground with gold-finished corner accents. Artworks are housed in various frames including mahogany-toned wood, silver-toned ornate mouldings, and gilt-finished borders.
