This set of seven charming animal and insect insertions—a happy dog, busy bees, a butterfly, a mother duck and duckling swimming along, an owl, a pony, and a pair of playful cats—were designed by Ethel Herrick Stetson in 1912.
This pretty Rose Insertion works well as a corner as shown, and includes a pointed Rose Bud Lace Edging to match. Originally designed by Emma Boardman in 1920, it’s suitable for many purposes, and the lace edging and insertion may be used separately or in combination.
This design is very attractive and versatile. In fine thread, the lace and insertion will be a very pretty trim for skirts, slips or other similar garments, and a yoke is easily arranged to match. Heavier thread makes a handsome stripe, with lace border, for a bedspread.
