I am forwarding the email below to HISTARCH on behalf of Margaret Berrier.
The "Friendship Wheel" she inquires about is a cloth circle with
embroidered lace edges, on the interior of which is a radial, spoke-like
embroidery pattern in which individual names are embroidered between the
"spokes" and around the perimeter. I wasn't able to attach her photo of
the artifact to HISTARCH so if you would like to see the photo or can help
Margaret out please reply to her directly at:

Normally I am more interested in the prehistoric but would like to find
out
more about this antique. Perhaps this isn't an appropriate place for this
question but I am trying to find out about this embroidered Friendship
Wheel
made in Clayton, New Mexico around 1912-1914. Does anyone know of a
historic textiles/needlework expert or can anyone tell me more? I am
pretty
sure this must have been something women did in different areas because I
also have one from Kansas.
