I have a Princess lace loom and Karen Thompson did an article for Piecework magazine recently regarding the Torchon Lace Company and the Princess pillow. I don't belong to the Lace Guild though, so haven't seen the article in Lace.

Doris Southard has a photo of the Princess pillow in her book, somewhere early on. It was made by the Torchon Lace Company of St Louis Mo. The Missouri Historical Society had a Princess pillow. It looked like it was in use but it had been faked. We tried to find out more about the Torchon Lace Co. It was in city directories in 1904 and 1905 but that was all we found. Happy hunting. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
