Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

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

Hi Susan, I went in by clicking on the Arachne link at the bottom of your email. What popped up were pictures of extreme sports. I had a vertical menu beside the pictures, and scrolled down to a link farther down which brought up Arachne. Hope this helps! Clay Sent from my iPad > On Feb

Re: [lace] Anne of Green Gables

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". Nancy Connecticut, USA On Sat, Feb 18,
