According to Pat Earnshaw in her Dictinary of Lace, published 1982 'Point de Fee, fairy stitch, witch lace' A twentieth century version of Binche lace, with a ground similar to partridge eye, currently made at the Kantcentrum in Bruges.
I am going quite beserk looking for my piece of Point de Fee, which was identified for me by Pat Earnshaw several years ago. As I remember, it is a somewhat open, quite decortive piece using the basic priciples of Binche, but much freer and to a slightly larger scale. As soon as I find it, I will make a scan. I have been so busy with my books etc, I have quite ignored the lace collection and it needs a sort out. If things get put back in the wrong order, it is fatal.
