Hi All,  I believe you only have to know how to make a lace to teach
it ; )  History is icing on the cake.

I was just wondering about guipure myself so I'm glad it came up.  Kurella's
"Guide to Lace & Linens" says the most common definition is lace with a
background that does *not* have net (or reseau as Earnshaw says).  So that's
why Carrickmacross guipure has the net cut out.  I hope I can remember that!
Guipure d'art sounds like a name they might have made up around 1900.  In
the US at that time they made up a lot of names for laces that are rather
confusing today.

Jane in Vermont, USA who watched a few minutes of golf on TV, they're in
Arizona and there is green grass and people are outside in t-shirts and
shorts!
