1950 - PICNIC PRIZES The inventory of prizes for a school picnic which I embroidered is from the archives of the School Section #10 (Southwold) Country Club, dated September 20, 1950. I used with a back stitch (not my usual "couching" technique) which is found on many old signature quilts. Embroidered linen in a typewriter from the ECM collection (later exhibited in a laundry wringer - see exhibition photos above), 16"h x 6.25"w, 2009 / Collection: Elgin County Museum |
