Just went and found the issue of the Lace magazine (#37 Spring 1985) and
found a picture of the John Bull Trophy Award (1984) at the English Lace
School. There was also a write up about the Itchen Valley Lacemakers group.
The wedding bouquet bouquet was worked in cream and apricot: 3 roses with
leaves; 17 stephanotis, 14 hyacinth pips, and 5 lily of the valley. 40
members took part and it took them 400 hours. It was made in 50 Sylko thread
because there was a wide enough colour range to get a close blending of the
colours. There was also an open strip of lace threaded with the ribbon.
It says that they were planning to make up a booklet with full
instructions - don't know how to find out if that was ever done.
