I've just had a mention on BBC local radio!
I'm listening to Dave Cash playing golden oldies, one of which was Big
Bopper's 'Chantilly Lace' which led to a short mention of what
Chantilly lace is - and he and his female assistant thought it was
embroidery!
As I'm listening to BBC Southern counties instead of Radio Kent
because of the cricket coverage, and sitting at the computer so I sent
him an email which he read verbatim:
Chantilly lace is not embroidered - it's a bobbin lace - made with
with dozens of those little sticks attached to a pillow with hundreds
of pins.
(said that meant nothing to him!)
Technically it's part of the point ground family of bobbin laces and
originally made in north east France, and is usually black
(said "Ah yes, black lace and ladies, I understand that")
