When and where did lacemakers work 14 hours a day and what is your source for that? Devon Hi Arachnids Valerie Harris, who wrote the book The Lavendon Collection of Bobbin Lace Patterns, told me about her two aunts whe were commmissioned to make a piece of lace for a Royal occasion. The lace was worked continually 24 hours a day get it finished in time, averaging 12 hours per day each. It is not a stretch of the imagination to take this to 14 hours per day if you need the money to live and you are an elderly person in a family without many other duties. I love my lacemaking but 14 hours a day might become too much. Keep lacemaking alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
