Is there any reason to believe that Miss Channer designed the  mat? When I 
started lace there were several patterns that were associated with  my 
teacher, but she did not design them. She made and sold the  prickings.
 
In fact, when I started making lace in the 1970s the concept  of copyright 
was not widely understood among lacemakers. Many considered every  pattern 
to be traditional and in the public domain. Others exerted some kind of  
proprietary ownership in patterns that was based on nothing but habitual use.
