"Tiggy: Mrs. Tiggywinkle is a hedgehog, and our beloved mascot, who lives
with her lace-making owner in Bainbridge Island, WA. Miss Tiggy now has a
pal, Fuzzy-peg."
is a quote from:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/1404/handbook.html
which is the Lace- and Lace-Chat Subscriber's Handbook for Arachne from
November 1998 - yes there was/is a handbook (but haven't heard it mentioned
for some time) with all the do's and dont's for posting to lace and
lace-chat as well as some common terms.
I'd assumed that the hedgehog was the mascot because it's "a pincushion"
with "pins" stuck in its back, but I could be wrong. I've got a small silver
hedgehog pincushion, which I don't use because I don't want to have to
keeping cleaning it. It's in a glass cabinet kept away from new air so that
it doesn't go black.
