Conscience duly pricked Jeri. I havent yet written about the Bruges Congress
and the following tour of Flanders for similar reasons to those told by
Honeycombe stitch as a ground is also known as Spanish Ground - might this have
any bearing?

The most distinctive thing about these two pieces is that they both
have a honeycomb background mesh.
Devon, I looked through the book of bobbin lace stitches by Cook and
Stott, and to me the ground stitch looks more like the braided kat
stitch that is on page 122 of the book. That would make more sense if it
is considered a Flemish type lace, since kat stitch (or Paris) is more
closely
Earlier I posed a question about a piece of lace in the museum that I
am having trouble categorizing. The museum has it pegged as Flemish.
I posted the photo on the Laceioli.ning site
