Hello All! To follow up for Jeri, these references are in the old issues of The Bulletin posted on Digital Archives. Issue 1967-1968 pg7 a reference to Chinese bobbins in an archived letter from Teresa Pellegrini dated June 10, 1938. Page 12, archived letter from Pellegrini dated July 14, 1938 "The real Chinese & Japanese laces are very expensive". This was a reply to a question about inexpensive laces in shops. Issue 1971-1972 #1 pg9 This Chinese pattern 63A was contributed by Mrs. Sweetland of Laurel, FL. Issue 1971-1972 #2 pg 26 Chinese pattern #44 contributed by Mrs. Sweetland. Issue 1972-1973 #3 pg 61 Chinese pattern 537 contributed by Mrs. Sweetland. Same issue pg 77 Chinese pattern #28. All of the patterns appear to be Torchon with no discernible Oriental influence. So, how are they related to the Chinese & what are Chinese bobbins? There are more citations in random following issues of The Bulletin. I was curious as to how the Chinese & lace were related. ! BTW--this is not Chinese, but there is a lovely peacock in Issue 1971-1972 #3 pg 71 if anyone is interested. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
