with handmade laces. Published in 1986.

Thank you for mentioning the availability of the catalog for the exhibit "LACE
not lace". My copy arrived in yesterday's mail, and is wonderful--almost
compensates for not being able to visit the Museum.

In the introduction to her book of original patterns for Schneeberger lace
(2004), Lia Baumeister gives a short history of Schneeberger Lace: it
developed around 1915 in Schneeberg in Erzgebirge Germany, evolved from
Austria (Vienna) lace. The outside characteristic plait was added in 1935.
Thanks you for the notice about Anny Noben-Slegers. I continue to marvel over
her pattern "Pride of Africa",such a loving and lively depiction of the Big
Cats. A wonderful way to remember her.
