Bill Blake was an ex-miner who learnt to make Honiton lace with Elsie Luxton after he retired. Back in the 1990s he was teaching Honiton lace in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. Somewhere I have a photo of him at his lace pillow. Sadly he is no longer with us and I wonder if whoever is selling his lace realises how much work was involved.
