I've recently been going through various lace-related bits and pieces, and I
have found a couple of items that I'd like to pass on to new owners. What
better than an Arachne raffle?
HONITON TEATOWEL (No, not a teatowel made out of lace - don't be silly!)
A souvenir sold a few years ago at the Honiton Museum. It shows a lacemaker
surrounded by the tools of her trade and with typical Honiton lace motifs, all
on a deep blue background. I was going to use it as a cover cloth, but never
have, so it is in pristine condition.
CROSS STITCH CHART OF A LACEMAKER
shows a Bruges lacemaker at her pillow. Thread codes are for DMC/Madeira
stranded cotton. Finished size is given as 21 x 29 cm. I'm not really into
cross stitch, so I'm never going to make it.
Usual system: Send an email to me (NOT to the list) with subject either HONITON
RAFFLE or CROSS STITCH RAFFLE. You're welcome to enter both, but separate
emails please. I'm happy to post anywhere in the world, and will make the draw
on 31 May.
Best of luck!
