Lucie, The Atlanta History Center has focused their reconstructed house on this time period. When our bobbin lace group offered to come and do some demonstrations the offer was politely refused. We were told that bobbin lace was not made in the Atlanta area at that time. However any tatters were welcome. So I am guessing that most of the hand made lace was tatting. Towards the end of the American Civil War home made lace may have been the only type of lace available in the south. Liz Redford, Raleigh, NC, USA
