Rare book with designs by Anne Orr. 24 pages including covers, page 12 and 13 combined into one.

Most items are a combination of techniques: tatting and crochet, filet crochet and embroidery. Some lovely yokes and centerpieces. Most remarkable item: a telephone book cover with an embroidered parrot and the admonition to not be like Polly on the phone, might be suitable for a smartphone cover if done in small stitches.
