Hello all,

Was there a discussion about bobbin lace in movies on this list some time
ago?
I was watching an old movie with Catherine Hepburn as Mary, Queen of Scots
and in once scene where Mary is in her drawing room with her ladies in
waiting, one of the ladies is doing bobbin lace.  It is difficult to see if
she's actually making lace or just moving her bobbins around, but it's
definitely a bobbin lace pillow she's working on.  It seems to have a lap
stand attached to the pillow which fits over the knees.  I don't know how
true to history they tried to make the movie but the costumes seem to fit
the time and maybe they actually did research on what type of craft/art
these ladies would have been making in that time period.
Another lady in the room is working on a very large needlepoint in an
elaborate frame.
