I thought Hollie point was much further down in England. My understanding was Southern England, but I can stand corrected. I am actually a needlelacer by preference, so I have done Hollie point, enjoyed it, sort of. Bit fine and and two dimensional for me, but a nice change every so often. As an aside, am I correct in thinking that the only quilting near Scotland was Durham quilting, and that crochet didn't have much input at all?

Still not much bobbin lace but, as has been said, if the local skills were with the needle(s) - lace knitting, fine embroidery - why would they bother to take up a completely different craft (particularly one that needed more and completely different equipment)?
