I was going to say that I agree with Betty, the photos aren't detailed
enough to see what the tan on cream decoration is - might be embroidery
or might be printed, and that it doesn't look like lace, but when I
came to the fifth picture
http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2159743390048870129dCMmzL
I could just about make out that scalloped edging appears to be
alternately cloth stitch and half stitch. Click on the view full size
icon and you can see that they are woven motifs, which might be BL
clothstitch or might be machine made braid, attached to the fabric with
buttonhole stitch and the narrow lines are embroidered stem stitch.
I can't see enough detail in the other cloth to see how the motifs are
attached to the fabric. Is it possible to upload scans rather than
photos? Scans usually show more detail.

Susan, Is it my eyes or my computer? The picures are light brown/tan
on a brown background and some leaf shapes are barely visible. I can't
see any lace. Me or the photos?

I've just uploaded these photographs to a new album in the Arachne

Here is the message Kay sent along with the photographs. Like Kay, I
hope
someone on Arachne can add to our understanding of these lovely
tablecloths!
