Dear Lacemakers, Found in the fine print of a calendar in "Antiques" magazine is a listing of an exhibit at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum: "Lace & Linen in a Land of Iron & Dust" - to July 10, 2005.
A look at the website shows the exhibit title to be "Silk & Satin in a Land of Iron & Dust". The one picture shows a lace parasol. http://www.panhandleplains.org/ If someone visits this exhibit, please provide Arachne with a review. The museum is on the campus of the West Texas A & M University, Canyon, Texas - near Amarillo. This is referred to as the largest historical museum in Texas. A bit off the beaten path for us - but that is what makes it interesting enough to be asking for more info. Could there really be lace and linens exhibited (perhaps indicated to "Antiques" in a press release that was mis-edited for the magazine listing?) Or, lace on costumes of silk and satin? Is there a handout? Containing lace pictures? To lace guilds in Texas and neighboring states - this may be a nice subject to include in your newsletters!
