Thanks Karen for posting this URL - I had lost any previous messages that had
this link.

What fun I had looking at the photos! If you haven’t tried the link yet -
they are high definition photos. Click on the photo so that it fills the page,
and then you can zoom in so close you can see the fuzzies on the thread! You
can also zoom out so it’s just a little tiny thing but I don’t understand
the value of that feature.

[lace] Ipswich Lace pillow

[Karen Thompson]

Dear Ann,

I think two Ipswich, Massachusetts lace pillow entries are mixed here. Jeri
wrote about her very interesting pillow under Ipswich style pillow.  Under
the Bucks Point discussion I gave a link to the one with the tag, which is
in the Smithsonian Museum collection in Washington, DC, USA. You can find
it by searching: Smithsonian lace collection, and scrolling to the next to
the last object or
http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_644978
By clicking on the title of the Ipswich lace pillow entry, several pictures
are available. The text on the label says: "She lived to be over 90, worked
on this pillow the day she died. She feared she lacked "dying grace" but
God took her while she knelt in prayer". Hope this clarifies.

Karen, currently at snowy Bethany Beach, DE, but as often in Washington, DC

I didn’t receive any replies to my question so I will  try again.
I can read the first few lines of the tag.
(She lived to be over 90 and worked on this pillow the day she died)
I can’t decipher the rest but would like to know.
