As I understand it, the table ribbon, which is the focus of the lace
contest, is a traditional lace piece in Quebec. I may be wrong, I'm
judging on how it was presented, how all the people from Quebec seemed
to know what it was instinctively, etc.
That's why the stringent guidelines,

Does that mean that a table ribbon in Quebec is by definition always less than

there are lilacy mauve lines in the wood.
