Thank you Jean! Bobbi is definitely the Queen of Tonder lace! As to Chrysanthemum, a connection with Bruges fits the "Flanders province" description on Essential Vermeer. Interesting too that description "b" under Bruges in Glynne is reminiscent of Chrysanthemum attributes: tape-like lace, formalized flower heads & convoluted scrolls. "At times plaited brides are doubled & ornamented with picots...". However, I have never made Chrysanthemum lace so have no clue whether it is continuous or non-continuous--a significant feature that differentiates Bruges from Lille according to Glynne. That could be a conflict that supports Nancy's citation of Lille. It's amazing what one can learn by organizing a simple lace exhibit at the library! Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA.
