Hi Lorri - Also, i believe there was lacemaking in New France (when it was governed by the French before 1763); a lacemaker in Quebec studied this about 20 years ago. She mentioned her research on Arachne, so the info should be in the archives. I think there were French nuns involved in instruction, but I can’t remember much of it. New France included Nova Scotia; so not far by sea from Boston.
