I've just finished reading 'Blackwork' and will pass it on to Eve Morton to
read. When she's finished with it, I've decided to send them all to Alex
Stillwell, which will pass them on to her lace friends to read as well. I
disagree with Lori and think they do need to be read in order because the
characters develop from book to book.
The lace content in 'Blackwork' refers to a mantilla or scarf for an older
woman to wear at her wedding. Described as "a gossamer thing of pale ecru,
fifteen inches wide and almost fifty inches long. It was made in
inch-and-a-half-wide stripes, with tiny hearts in the central band that ran
the length of the thing." It was made of ten lengths. I can't actually
picture it in my mind, probably because, from that description, it could be
any type of lace and would look totally different if made in say torchon
than Bucks Point.
