About this object

A white linen doily said to have been stitched by Marjorie Post. The center area is linen with a wide edging of bobbin tape lace of ecru linen. The bobbin tape has been manipulated to form three flowers and three leaves. There are 3 needle lace circles in the center of the flowers and one in the leaves. A photograph with the object shows a paper with the notation that Mrs. Post made this, but the paper is not with this piece.
