Tomorrow I will try and figure out how to post a picture of this hanging. I have no camera skills.

Picture an antique tapestry that needs to be cleaned and rejuvenated. At least 100+ years old. Some of the crewel is faded. That does not bother me. It is the lined linen background that looks awful.

This hanging is late 1800's at the latest. I know it might be best to leave it alone but...I don't like the way it looks. It was always a hanging, probably to show the skills of the one who did the work.
