Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A first-person account by Dorothy Milne Rising of making an embroidered buffet runner from a leftover piece of gray linen, which she dyed yellow-orange. She designed a peasant-style border of family figures, potted trees and cocks, and describes the stitches (chain, outline, cat-stitch, knots) and colors used on each figure and on the upper and lower borders. A photograph shows the finished runner.
