This must be one of the most poignant exhibtions possible. I find it almost impossible to look at the samples without any emotion and did not have the courage to go through them all. Thank you for the link. It is a part of history that probably does not get much attention. The poor mothers and the poor children. I would not have known anything about this if it had not been for Arachne!

I found one item of rather unusual lace (Foundling 11691), some cross stitch and blackwork.>> - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
