Hear, hear!!! I cannot imagine anyone objecting to lace history...past and present, especially on this list. What a resource!
One of the best things about learning to lace alone and from a myriad of books (well, 30 years ago 'myriad' was the wrong word....) was that I learned so much peripheral information about lace and associated accoutrements. Linen and its growing, cotton, bobbins, woods, material for pillow stuffing and covers and on and on. Not to mention the historical aspects, the unnamed artisans who put in endless hours, and especially the social connections. Please keep the information road open..we can never know enough. Every answer seems to invoke another question . THANKS TO ALL WHO TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND SHARE. Climbing down from my soap box, I remain.. BarbE...who never seems to have enough information...;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Avital Pinnick To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 9:07 AM Subject: Re: Re: [lace] historical lace Historical lace is certainly appropriate for this list, unless someone can give me some darn good arguments why it isn't (send them offlist, please). I'm always willing to listen to the other side. But I can't control the e-mails that individuals choose to send. Jeri, I suggest that you simply block or filter into the "big round file" any private messages of this nature.
