Vintage "symbolic" tray cloth worked from a pattern in a 1953 Needlewoman & Needlecraft magazine. The projects included a souvenir sampler to celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II
as well as shadow work mats with daffodil, thistle, shamrock & crown motifs; a knitted jumper with emblem pocket; coronation motifs which could be stitched into brooches; a pagenatry tapestry design; an empiric tablecloth with the national flowers of the commonwealth; assisi embroidery in a majestic design; crochet tablecloth edging & doilies with coronation motifs; a diadem design crochet traycloth; a Windsor design embroidered cushion; corona motif embroidery; and finally a cavalcade wastepaper bin and royal tribute Radio Times cover. All this in one 28 page magazine! Quite a historical statement ...
