Pair mats c.1960s


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

Floral design worked in stem & chain stitch using stranded cotton, 3 strands.

Edge has then been crochet into & finished with treble scallops.

Size 7.25” width x 7.75” length (18.5cm x 19.5cm)

(Likely a pair of dressing table mats)

Book cover c.1990

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