NICHOLLS, Miss Mabel, Grimley,
Worcestershire.
Miss Nicholls executes embroidery from her
own designs. The panel for an organ front,
illustrated on page 92, is embroidered in
floss silk, the dresses being in laid work and
couched to give the pattern. She has gained
four national awards for embroidery at South
Kensington, and a Diplome d’Honneur and three
bronze medals at the Concours International
des Arts de la Femme held in Paris. At the
last Exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Society
at the Grafton Galleries, London, she was
represented by a decorative panel of angels.
A tablecloth designed by her for the National
Competitions at South Kensington appeared
in the September number of The Studio, 1902.
