As well as that, I found this mystery item. It is made of calico, hand stitched, and bound with bias binding. It measures 37 inches across by 21 inches down. It appears to be a kind of storage wall hanging with pockets, as there are loops at each end and in the centre, to indicate where a rod would go through to hang it. Ken wondered if it might be a Masonic apron belonging to his father, but I didn't think so. Not that I know anything about those things! Again looking for clues from my blogging friends!!
Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

I love that bedspread. Hope you find the solution to you mystery
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bedspread!..even after so many years it is in such a good condition..I appreciate that you take so much care to preserve them..
ReplyDeleteGina, the mystery item looks to me like a cutlery roll ... you put your cutlery, or knives, or whatever in the slots, roll it up, tie it up and store it. Although the bits you say look like where you could put through a rod for hanging have me stumped !!
