WHAT A LABOR OF LOVE! This style of needlework has been
nicknamed "POPCORN" or "yo-yo" 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
