History
Made by the owner, Hazel Jarmyn in 1974-1975 in Adelaide South Australia. "I am Australian born in a northern town named Booborowrie SA in my grandmother's house and have always been a very keen needle person. I love to sew as well as other needlework including tatting and bobbin lace. I lived on the same farm until 1979 when we moved to the city in semi retirement and taught all sorts of needlework for 25 years. Foundation member of the Australian Lace Guild in South Australia and still like to do all kinds of work." [Hazel Jarmyn]
