Hi Alice, I'd love to see your 16th century Flanders, as would others I'm sure. Any possibility that you could post pictures to LACEIOLI Ning group? Nancy in Connecticut, cleaning out a flooded basement, throwing water-logged *stuff* away, and thinking it doesn't matter much because all my antique lace, lace pillows, bobbins, books, etc. are safely upstairs!

I have no expertise in these but I understand the processes.

I also learned to crochet and embroider as a young child, and taught myself knitting as a young adult. I had to give these up for many years because of finger problems but have taken them up again recently when my fingers no longer hurt. There's a lovely knitted lace shawl on my 'to do' list.
