Handmade Cloth Nursery Book | Cross-Stitched Black Dog Folk Art Textile Toy (c. 1930s–1940s)

This charming 1930s–1940s cloth nursery book is a rare example of early American folk textile craft, featuring a cross-stitched black dog with an orange bow on its linen-style cover. The interior contains 15 blank fabric pages in soft pastels—peony pink, robin's egg blue, tangerine orange, and heather purple—suggesting it was designed as a customizable activity or sensory book. Handmade from coordinated cotton remnants with embroidery and appliqué details, it's in excellent condition and measures approximately 16.5 x 15 inches, making it a distinctive piece for collectors of vintage domestic textiles and early children's crafts.
