How you are changing up the rules! It has to be your favorite lace book to
save from the fire or take to the island! <S> No gallon buckets of caviar or
cases of champagne allowed!
Since I am new to bobbin lace, I cannot answer the question of what I would
take, but I think it would be something very complicated and involved, to fill
my time. When the Honiton books arrive that I ordered, (but seem to have taken
weeks and weeks), I will know better! I have quite a few beginner books but
that would not suffice. If I had books in proximity to view, it would help
tremendously, so is in part why I asked! <G>

I agree that the nun on the left (I think it was) appears to be sewing. She
has one thing in one hand, and it is a long thread, but drawn up in the air, as
one would sew. Her index finger and thumb seem close together like one would
be holding a sewing needle for needle embroidery, though there is a brown shape
in the palm of her hand, which could indicate a bobbin. Perhaps she is sewing
with her bobbin, which is done, right? ;-) One would use pins with needle
lace too, no?
I didn't think of nuns in brown habits, though monks had them. It was Italian
so interesting. FWIW I also thought the one at the back was spinning, and like
Sue, thought that the woman with the serving dish? looked almost as if holding
up the shelf! LOL
They all have pillows, even the reader (but not the spinner or two dealing with
food).
Best,
Susan Reishus
