Thanks for mentioning the Torchon Lace Company and the Princess lace pillow. I would relate this to the early 20th century lacemaking ideas which included trying to make lace for money, rather than leisure. Examples include the Sybil Carter missions and Italian Lace School (cut work). But, surely there must have been people left over from these attempts who were still around in the 1970s. These movements have parallels in Europe such as the Industrie Feminilli. Devon
