Description: | Tablecloth made from flour sack. Flour sacks were sent from America during world war II. They were sold at a shilling a time and there was a waiting list for them. Bleach was used to whiten the fabric and remove the stamps. This table cloth was made by the donor in her early 20s, towards the end of the war, using Anchor embroidery silks. She recalls spending a lot of time embroidering while in air raid shelters. | Source: | Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives | Creator: | Joan Haskins | Identifier: | emu.mshed.ecatalogue.socialhistory.15556 | Go to resource |
