I have a May 1953 issue of Popular Handicrafts which features another Radio Times cover Coronation design with the Royal Arms. In this case the design is printed in the magazine and instructions include how to make an iron-on transfer using laundry blue. I could send you a scan if you are interested.

About this blog

The focus of this blog is British patriotic samplers and embroideries, especially those from 1901 to the present day. Its purpose is to be a catalogue/reference of the remarkable array of these hand-made works. Each one is a piece of social history, someone's time and skill and heart-felt emotion stitched to commemorate an event to which they must have felt a strong connection.

If you know of examples not yet here, or further sources or links which could be added to this site, please do leave a comment. All comments are moderated (ie. not published automatically). You can also contact me at rooruu ATgmail DOTcom (remove spaces, replace words with relevant symbols).

The general world of royal and patriotic memorabilia is huge, and the focus here is very narrow; I'm not so much a royalist as a student of social history and needlework. Every one of these items has a story.
