Tray cloth c.1960s


Possibly worked from an iron-on transfer onto white linen (as design is not perfectly symetrical at either end, it indicates it was ironed onto fabric by stitcher).

Design of Willow Pattern worked predominantly in a variety of straight stitches although a few lines are in chain stitch.

Several shades of blue worked using stranded cotton, 3 strands.

Machine stitched hems folded to the upper, right side.

Size 15.75” width x 22.25” length (40cm x 56.5cm)

Book cover c.1990

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