Thanks for clarifying that point, Diana... I did not bother to get out
my copy of the pattern, which I should have done!

May I make one small point regarding the 'Channer' mat. As far as is
known Miss Channer designed but did not work it, the example shown in
old photographs was worked by "Mrs Dixon of Clapham, Bedford, at one
of the classes of the Bedford Technical Institute c1926".
The mat is in the collection of the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Bedford
but the last I heard it had unfortunately been 'misplaced'.

Hi Susan -

As far as your observation about David's version of Miss Channer's
Mat, I'll just make this comment: Miss Channer's Mat was designed
and worked by the lovely Miss Channer, for her own use (as I
understand). A pattern has been made from it which many Bucks
lacemakers aspire to work. /snip/
