The mat was designed by Miss Channer, the original was made by Mrs Dixon of
Clapham, Bedford in a class at the Technical Institute in Bedford around
1926.
It was not part of the lace expo at Northampton in 1999.
I think I have some info on the Warren sisters somewhere - now where is
it............?

I just did a two day workshop with Barbara Underwood in Sydney and the
subject of Miss Channer's mat came up. She told the very unfortunate
story
of the disappearance of the original mat made by Miss Channer. It was on
display with a furniture exhibition and when the exhibition closed and the
furniture removed the mat disappeared, no one knows where it went except
the
person who took it, unless it was accidentally tossed when they tidied up
from the exhibit. Anyone who knows Barbara could get further details, I
was
a bit sidetracked doing the Penelope stitch on another rolled tallie.
