Thank you Jeri for the link. Very clear pictures. 
I could only read the first few lines on the tag though. Couldn’t decipher the 
rest.

You could post it on laceioli.ning. Since I set it up as a public site, even

NELG’s, so I couldn’t reproduce the words in the format without permission
from NELG.  So, if Jeri wanted to send me the text, or another text, or if she
wants me to snip out the photos, and accompany them with a statement  such a:
“Many thanks to an IOLI member in Maine for this photo of an original
Ipswich pillow that is a family heirloom. The construction details are very
interesting.” I could do that. I could, of course, name Jeri Ames, instead
of saying “IOLI member in Maine”. I never know whether people want their
names used, or want to be anonymous.

Is it desired that I post these on the International Organization of Lace’s
facebook page?

I don’t think there is any problem with linking to the review of Karen’s
book since it is on a public part of the website. I could do this on facebook
if it is desired.

There is not necessarily a relationship between American Ipswich Lace and
England's Bucks Point, except that Mrs. Lakeman, who had made Ipswich lace
in the late 18th C, used her equipment from that period to make the newer
Point ground lace later in her life.

Jeri,

Nice suggestion--I will forward it to the NELG webmistress. It might be
useful to have a page on NELG for public posts in general. I don't have any
place to post something myself that would be easy to get to, and I don't
think Devon does either.

Re: [lace] Bucks point - on Ipswich-style Pillow at Smithsonian

[Jeri Ames]

Sorry if this is a repeat.  Some may have missed it, or not realized the
relationship between American Ipswich Lace and England's Bucks Point.
 
If someone who is a member of The New England Lace Group (Nancy N. or Devon?)
has the capability to do so, I invite you to go to the August 2017 newsletter,
page 10, and copy it to a public place where people can see the construction
details of my Ipswich-style lace pillow (without a pricking and lace), also
from Hallowell Maine.  The 4 photographs are very clear, and people might
like to make a copy to put in their Ipswich lace books.  The book review of
Lace Samples from Ipswich by Karen Thompson also appears inside this
newsletter.  It is available to the public, with my permission, if you select
"Book Reviews" from the menu on the left at www.nelg.us .  Review also
appeared on Arachne, but without a photo.
 
My pillow was offered to The Smithsonian and rejected, citing a lack of space.
 Interesting, since there is plenty of space for all things that men have
made - in enormous buildings throughout the U.S.  Women are 51 percent of the
population, but you'd never know it if you looked at how their tax dollars are
spent on art and history.

 You can see the pricking on an original Ipswich pillow from the late 1700s
