i was told it took ten lacemakers ten years to make one of those huge 19th century chantilly shawls ... and each worked 10cmx20cm lengths that were then put together with an invisible stitch by another specialised worker . i saw all this very well explained in the Chantilly museum . ps. i love Chantilly lace !!!!! and Chantilly cream but that's another story ... dominique from Paris . - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
