WHAT A LABOR OF LOVE! This style of needlework has been
nicknamed "POPCORN" and it is easy to see why... hundreds of
small, fabric rondels are sewn into groups of four, which are
then sewn together to make a top for a bed coverlet. Probably
as a gift to a grandchild or newlywed. <P>Included in this
lot is a seperate piece, measuring 57" x 15" which was used to
cover the pillows. CONDITION: There is a 4" wide ruffle
which goes around on all sides of the pillow cover. A matching
pink ruffle was removed from the edge of the counterpane itself
some time ago. The popcorn rondels are sewn onto a pink fabric. When the ruffle was removed, the edge of the under sheet was not hemmed.<P> A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE SEWING WOMEN
DID DURING THE FIRST HALF 20th c, ON LONG WINTER'S NIGHTS
