Thanks for putting those up Jean.
I did watch it last night, and will forgive Queenie her 'faux pas' on
the types of lace purely because the important thing about the
programme is that it actually gave a beautiful showing of bobbin lace
and also shows the history of what happened to the lacemakers once
machine lace came along! I felt so sorry for Queenie when she
returned from the market and then was, in essence, snubbed by the
dressmakers regarding such gorgeous lace. IMHO historically it was
pretty near the truth!! I think that the researchers were looking
historically rather than the lace types, and they did get that right....

Pity the researchers didn't get a couple of things right:
The "point ground lace" is Maltese.
The lace Queenie is selling is Bedfordshire, but she has Bucks point
on her pillow. If she was making her living at it she would have
stuck to one pattern.
I'm sure there are others, but it was so nice to see bobbin
lacemaking getting such a good airing on TV.
