This bag was made as a raffle prize for the Embroiderer's Guild AGM held in Southport. Each patch was made by individual members. Helen Sargent put them together to a pattern of Katie Chaplin's. She very cleverly embroidered the three legs on the base. It was won by Betty Mansfield. She used to come over to the island to see one of the founders of the Isle of Man Branch, Alison Quayle. Betty helped to organise the City and Guild course at the College of Further Education. It is very sad as now she is suffering from MS and wheelchair bound. She can no longer sew but is giving all the goodies to her grand daughter but keeping the bag as she loved it so much.
