Thank you to Her Majesty Queen Marion for this picture of the incredible banner of the Rose Madder Reds of Benfleet. Her Maj wrote:
"Here is our banner which was presented to the chapter at our 1st anniversary lunch by a few of the ladies.
It was made by a few ladies who are keen embroiderers, (we are members of the embroiderers guild.) There are various techniques used, her red hat is made from needlelace, most of it is applique, I particularly love the handbag. Apparently they all knew about red hatters before I did, and had already started on this project when I suggested we form a chapter. It was a lovely surprise when they presented it to me at our anniversary lunch in April."
