I just did a search on Ebay for "maltese lace" & one of the items was for 2 lengths of an narrow edging. The third photo is of the lace being made on a very narrow pillow held up against the window frame. I was so intrigued that I asked the seller if he/she made the lace & if they were from Malta.
Lace can be seen here: <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2553524689&category=39448&rd=1>
The seller (John) replied to my questions by saying the lace was made by his mother & they are both from Malta. Massapequa, NY is listed as their location, which is on Long Island.
Maybe someone from nearby could contact them. John's email is: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I think that having a Maltese lace-maker demonstrate at a meeting would be very interesting. I think her lace is worth more than $10 for 3.5 + 3 yards.
