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. Devon
