Clicking through the photos on the site below, I saw an old postcard photo of a lacemaker and it was entitled "Lady Lacemaking With Her Bobbins in Runcorn circa 1880". I was not aware that lacemaking was going on in Cheshire. Does anyone know about lacemaking in that area? Maybe she was an hobby lacemaker like us. Janice
<Today I was surfing for fun and found a group on flickr called "bobbin lace" There are lots and lots of photos, and quite a few are of modern freeform "art" lace. http://www.flickr.com/photos/perignon/3501864990/in/pool-bobbinlace Lorelei> Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA www.jblace.com http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
