Thank you for the pictures. It is was fun to see it. What size/type of
thread do you think was used? Could you count the stitches per inch on the
foot side for us? TIA Delores Miller. Sedro Woolley, Washington, USA

Subject: [lace] Rescued piece of lace
Dear lacers,
While we were out shopping for last minute props and costumes for the HS
musical this past weekend, we were at a flea market and I always hastely
glance for any lace paraphenalia. I managed to rescue this cluny lace
insertion. It measures 52 inches long and 3 and 3/4th inches wide. I
believe it is handmade because the leaf tallies are pointed on both
ends(unlike barmen machine lace as referenced to me from a previous post)
and you can see where the starter pins were and the lacemaker had tied the
thread ends together in knots on the other end. It desparately needs a
good
washing! If you know of the pattern or think it might be some other type
of
lace, please let me know. Below are some closeups of the lace:
