It is one of the older ones I have seen. The very observant B Brackman noted it had to be after 1920 because of the colored thread.
We would hesitate to call it a beauty but I thought you might enjoy seeing it for yourself.

Guest photo of an old face
Oh dear I've been trying to make this more tasteful lately but this newly-submitted photograph will put an end to that.
I enjoy referring to this as my personal newspaper (which shows my age). People who submit things for use in newspapers are called stringers (history lesson). Stringer Carol Jones took this picture on her iphone yesterday at stitch group and isn't it unique. Terry Thompson and I compete to buy these face potholders. Terry just snagged this one in Hutchinson.
