Thank you Blanche! I've printed out your info for future use. It's totally amazing that lace was made in so many areas as a social relief program. Thanks also for the references on Polish traditional dress. When I looked last night, I found beautiful whitework on blouses & aprons but no bobbin lace. I did find some interesting pieces that appear to be needle lace in the Silesia area. The lace covered the forehead & appeared to be tucked under the edges of a colorful babushka (is there a different term in Polish?) because the hair was completely covered. Plus loads of brightly colored embroidery that I recognize from EGA--the Kalocsa (sp??) type.
In the meantime, another Arachnean has forwarded a clear photo of lace from Bobowa so I will attempt to recreate the pattern. Many thanks for all the help, suggestions & collaboration!
