I have to concur with Tamara. When up at CSU 2 years ago with our Guild's President, looking at lace in the University collection for consideration for Convention display, a Grad student brought in her chantilly shawl. We were a little put on the spot when she asked for a $ evaluation and swore it was handmade, but when we went looking at it carefully, we decided it was machine made - the same 'flaw' (or imperfection) in the ground work showed up in the same place in the pattern. It was a very regular irregularity (if you know what I mean).
The shawl was stunning, nonetheless. Cheers, Helen, Aussie in Denver, where we might get above freezing by the end of the week! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
