There was a wonderful collection of embroidered items on show at the May meeting of Collectors. Items ranged from Grade 3 & 4 needlework to articles stitched by much older ladies. There were needle cases, pin cushions, doileys, tray mats, dressing table sets, supper cloths, table cloths, an item of Hardanger, beaded work; and, embroidered pictures. Do you remember that padded tea cosies that had an embroidered outer cover? There were even several of those.
The main theme of the work was floral but there were crinoline ladies of old and two identical table cloths stitched in the blue Willow pattern; similarly, a tea towel with fine Willow pattern and a drawn thread edge.

For the meeting on June 6th, the theme is salt and pepper shakers, cruet sets and other containers for condiments. We would welcome you to join us at 10.00am on that day.
