Hi Maureen and Nancy, I thought that one of the characteristics of the Ipswich MA lace is the often different angle of the grid in the ground and in the motifs. The angle in the ground is 66° or 52° and in the motifs often 45°. Karen Thompson says the same thing in her book The Lace Samples from Ipswich Massachusetts. We also discovered that reconstructing some samples for the book of Maria Cotterell.
