Mat c.1960s

Possibly worked from a pre-transferred design on off-white linen with pre-finished hemstitched edge.

Simple floral design worked in stem & buttonhole stitch  using stranded cotton, 2 strands.

Edge has then been crochet into & finished with 3 rows treble scallops to resemble lace.

Size 4.75” width x 12.5” length (12cm x 32cm)

(Likely a dressing table mat)

Book cover c.1990

The background currently here is one stitched as a kit & now pending to make into a book cover.
