Hello fellow arachnids,
I have a question from one of my students that I am hoping you might

group and their period is the Napoleonic war.
She has discovered that the ordinary soldier's wives would have made
lace for the

You have already had the reply that 'setting in' is the process of starting to
make a new piece of lace. I believe it can also be referred to as 'setting up'
but that term can also mean the process of moving the lace up the pillow to a
new position by bundling the bobbins in a cloth

achieved using different mediums.

In September, I was in England with friend and husband, driving around to
many gracious homes, especially those replete with portraits of people
wearing 17th century lace. I had entered Parham House in West Sussex and was

Giles looks very good. Jane sent him to me some time ago and I made it for
a friend who has a white and black jack russell dog which I thought was

Hi Spiders All,
I know nothing about an International Lace Day but, The Lace Guild (in the
UK) inaugurated, several years ago, and probably more than I want to think

presumably anyone else on the planet who wanted to join in!
