Book of Hours, MS M.227 fol. 13r - Images from Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts. This one is the Heraldic shield of the Faletti Family.

The Book of Hours is a Christian devotional book popular in the Middle Ages. It is the most common type of surviving medieval illuminated manuscript.

Books of hours were usually written in Latin although there are many entirely or partially written in vernacular European languages, especially Dutch. They were very popular between the 13th and 16th centuries. Each one was unique because it was written and illustrated according to the needs and desires of the person who commissioned it.

Janet, the very idea of making a quilted wall hanging out of any Book of Hours is amazing and probably it must have taken hours of hard work. Your friend is so talented.
