Miss Channer died in March 1949. A picture of the lace does not appear in her little book 'Lace-making in the Midlands' published in 1900 but does appear in 'Practical Lacemaking' published in 1928, there is not a pricking in either. Interestingly in my first edition 'Practical Lacemaking' the name of Dryad appears in the corner of the picture of the mat. The note in the book by Anne Buck regarding the mat, designed by Miss Channer and made by Mrs Dixon of Clapham, Beds, gives acknowledgement to the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Bedford. Patricia Bury adapted the original pricking and made the lace sample. Diana in Northamptonshire
