Sounds as if Needlewoman didn't mind selling on that particular pattern. I wonder if the paper copy I've got came from there? The detective work will continue.

It says that the pattern was taken from Needlewoman, no 133, reproduced by kind permission of WM Briggs & Co.Ltd. I'm not sure if this helps at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263365969878112794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-1244433090947143342014-03-24T15:00:39.340+00:002014-03-24T15:00:39.340+00:00No, you are not old.No, you are not old.Tally Tattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250068366709959166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-12232166057537768342014-03-24T08:47:46.049+00:002014-03-24T08:47:46.049+00:00Oooh, thanks Tally Tatty.

My dictionary reveals that a cheval-set...Dear Jane,<br />My dictionary reveals that a cheval-set is a set of lace that is used on a dressing table, in front of a cheval mirror. ‘Cheval glass’ means a full-length mirror, mounted so as to swivel within a frame. You are supposed to put your bottle of perfume and your moisturizer lotion on the small doilies, and your brush and comb on the larger one.<br />I have seen on or two sets like that before, but not the one you show here. Or I watched too many Western movies.<br />Tally Tattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250068366709959166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-21058220031158996542014-03-23T15:38:33.302+00:002014-03-23T15:38:33.302+00:00Thanks for the link, linb54.

I had a tatted cross from a friend and a Workbasket pattern for a pair of booties, no instructions or tatting supplies. I guess my point is, I'm no help to you!

The style doesn't 'feel' right for her either. I also don't think due to the long distances involved and lack of easy communications in those days (I'm thinking around the 1950's/early 60's) that her work would've migrated much over here. Although, have said that gran and I borrowed Norma's book from the library around then - before we got our own copy!!!!
