[lace] OIDFA translator
Hello All! Thank you David, for your kind (& thorough) explanation regarding your excellent "free service". As usual, I don't know what I don't know & asked the question ham-handedly.

Re: [lace] Old Beds
Those teachers were just being narrow-minded. I've heard that Beds was started as a modification of Maltese lace, and that's drape-y, so I'll bet your Beds was more like the original Beds than anything those teachers ever made! Good for you for framing them and enjoying them.

[lace] Joan Kelly pattern
Dear all I am here in south central PA imposing on the time of Deb Bender The pattern we are repairing is the Kerry pattern from Joan Kelly. If anyone has that pattern, or knows where I can find it, or who can confirm what exactly type of thread we should be using… (Yes it has been that long since I have the confidence to try this). ... I/we would be very very grateful. Thank you Deb and to Bobbi thanks for suggesting Joan Kelly as the author! Carrie at my daughters family weekend at college taking some "me time"...!

Re: [lace] Old Beds
Dear Lorelei, I'm sorry to say this, but the clothwork parts in David's piece look a little suspicious. The passives make vertical ridges. That happens in machine made laces, not handmade cloth stitch. And the picots on the edge are rather peculiar, too. Far too long. But I'm not certain. My first impression was the same, but after careful study with a magnifier, I am now convinced it is handmade.
