Dear Susan
I have not been to Finland but agree with Antjie's comment about traditional
Finnish Lace. I have a book called "Ristnippu, Vanhoja raumalaisia
tyllipitseja II"
The narratve inside is in Finnish, English and German and the English says
that it is the second in a series of books about traditional Finnish lace in
the from the Rauma museum.
There are 11 prickings inside, beautifully made for the pictures, and it
appears to be a tulle lace, like Bucks Point, but made on a 45 degree grid.
Maybe you should have 2 samples of lace for Finland, traditional and modern or
most well-known so that you can include Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti's lace as well.
Good luck with the project.

Hello All! Today I'm seeking advice to find a small, reasonably simple
pattern that is representative of traditional Finnish lace. I need to make a
sample of Finnish lace for one of our library exhibits. Hopefully, it will
bring back fond memories for Finnish Americans who are patrons of the library
in this small Ohio town. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle
