Notes

Donation in memory of Joan Forrow. Black and white working diagrams and prickings for various edgings. Table of contents includes: for palls, for lavoro towels, for chalice veils, for credence cloths, for altar cloths, for frontals, for vestments, "bible markers" that would be called bookmarks in other settings.

Page 98 has an interesting and delicate fan edge that is unusual and I'm going to wonder later where I saw that, so I'm putting it down here. --MEM
