I agree - I never take a complicated project to my lace group meetings. I take
easy stuff - and even then I can quickly become confused.
I haven’t read the Anne books in several decades, but I recall her jibbing at
her needlework. This would have been plain sewing, which every woman had to do

I enjoy going to meetings of my lace group and making lace together,
but I have to admit that it's extremely difficult to make anything
complicated with the distraction of company! When I can just sit
down alone at home and concentrate, I can get a lot more Binche done.

Dear all,
Thank you for the many responses to Anne of Green Gables.
It seems that handicraft was important in the life of the author
because she mentioned it throughout the story.
It is described as knitting, crochet, lace also Point lace???

While looking for things for the International Organization of Laceâs
facebook page, I have run across an exhibit, Text and Textiles: The Legacy of
Lucy Maude Montgomery which has just opened at the McLaughlin Library-

Good point, Nancy. There was a lot of Battenberg and Princess Lace then,
also embroidered filet. Of course that is why it would be instructive to
know if the research is directed to what people were wearing, or what
people were doing in terms of handwork.
Considering the characters, I can't see Mar
Hi Devon,
Do you include Battenberg and Princess laces in "revival era lace"? because
there was a lot of that being made. I realize that's really a form of
needle lace rather than bobbin lace, but I don't see that the OP specified
bobbin lace, just "lace".

Hi All
This is what Margot had to say:
The place to find out about current lacemaking in Canada is:
https://lacegazette.com
Lacemaking in Maritime Canada started in the 1600s, when that part of Canada
was a French colony. We know for sure that the nuns taught Torchon lace at
Fortress Louisbourg
Or 'they' bought it by mail-order, e.g. the T. Eaton catalogue. If
interested, see pp. 92-93 of the 1907 Spring/Summer edition:

My guess would be that they were making revival era lace like everyone else
in 1908. So, winging it here, I would suggest cluny style laces that look
medieval. But, really, a very relavent question is "why do you want to
know?" Are you advising a stage or screen version of Anne?

Hello Nathalie and everyone
It has been a while since I've read Anne of Green Gables. I don't associate
lacemaking with that story.
Does the author mention lace?

Dear all,
Does anyone has information about lacemaking in Canada?
I would like to know about laces from around 1908 regarding the
story of Anne of Green Gables.
Thank you in advance!
