An Australian Needle Worker

Not many -women ' can claim the prize-winning record of Mrs Kathleen A Parker, who has been awarded 1200 trophies and certificates, and some -hundreds of pounds in money for her needlework. 1 Love of-*the art is her sole interest, however, for she says she has never sold a stitch, states an Australian writer. Among Mrs Parker's achievements is a trousseau in pure linen, donein point lace. At the Royal. Show at Melbourne .she displayed a reproduction _ of old Venetian lace, copying which is one of her most fascinating studies. She often tours second-hand bookshops for volcontaining old patterns and goes into the hills to sketch the birds and flowers. These are then painted in water colours and-conventionalised designs made for reproduction in stitchcrv, and thus her artistic sense provides a happy blend with her highly skilful hobby, . .
