I have come across a lovely example of drawn-work on eBay (my "eye" is not that 
sophisticated in this area, so I hope more knowledgeable spiders will bring me 
"up to speed").  The item is described as a handkerchief, and the seller 
suggests that it may have been a wedding handkerchief.  But I question this, as 
the dimensions are 24 by 24 inches !!  (~60 X60 cm).    Now, I'm aware that 
handkerchiefs have had their own evolution...  once quite large, and now quite 
small.  But I'm thinking that 24 inches is HUGE!!  

Nevertheless, the drawn-work is lovely, and I think this (being one of the 
pre-cursors of needle and bobbin laces) is worthy of our list...

Any ideas?
