Sorry if this is a repeat.  Some may have missed it, or not realized the relationship between American Ipswich Lace and England's Bucks Point.  If someone who is a member of The New England Lace Group (Nancy N. or Devon?) has the capability to do so, I invite you to go to the August 2017 newsletter, page 10, and copy it to a public place where people can see the construction details of my Ipswich-style lace pillow (without a pricking and lace), also from Hallowell Maine.  The 4 photographs are very clear, and people might like to make a copy to put in their Ipswich lace books.  The book review of Lace Samples from Ipswich by Karen Thompson also appears inside this newsletter.  It is available to the public, with my permission, if you select "Book Reviews" from the menu on the left at www.nelg.us .  Review also appeared on Arachne, but without a photo.  My pillow was offered to The Smithsonian and rejected, citing a lack of space.  Interesting, since there is plenty of space for all things that men have made - in enormous buildings throughout the U.S.  Women are 51 percent of the population, but you'd never know it if you looked at how their tax dollars are spent on art and history.  Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center  In a message dated 12/7/2017 8:49:57 AM Eastern Standard Time, karenhthomp...@gmail.com writes:
