I was lucky enough to win a pair of the Parsons Special bobbins - with the 2
Aussie OAM names on them (Rosemary and Norma). They are greatly treasured.

Thank you Jeri for the information about the three fishes and you are
correct of course - it's three crossed fishes and not just the one.
I wish I could locate exactly where in Saudi Arabia they purchase their non
fuzzy cotton thread, as the very fine Egyptian cotton and Brok cotton that I
I was so lucky at the weekend when visiting a small local antique/craft
market . The first book stall had an 'as new' copy of the book Queen
Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd by Janet Arnold.
Amazon have it in stock at the price of £75 - mine cost me just £4!
The book is superb and is even more
If you are referring to Egyptian cotton, I have purchased beautiful Egyptian
cotton from the Kantcentrum when I last met them at a lace fair in Spain.
I've made a tray cloth with the 80 and it is simply fantabulous to work
with.

Morning All,
I think the lace under the punch bowl might be a type Cluny lace. Similar
pieces (usually smaller) come up on eBay on a regular basis.

They look crocheted at first glance but if you zoom in the structure
resembles a needlelace, or drawn thread work on the first one. Sun
lace or macramé lace perhaps? The lace looks like it is part of the
tablecloth fabric, rather than being attached? The large-scale pointy
trim resembles network.
Dear Jeri and all arachneans,
Jeri allow me to add something to your report about Halas lace. The three fish
are taken from the coat of arms of the city of Kiskunhalas and doesn't appear
before 1934.
Between 1902 and 1911 they made also halas laces with colored silk and
sometimes decorated
Is it possible some of it could bew Hardanger - especially in the breakfast
room?

When I enlarge the photo it isn't clear enough to see anything but the motives
are typical Sol-lace.

I agree with Ilske. Sol-lace or Tenneriffe, with needlelace diamonds as
well.

The lace on the dining table is Drawn Work. Some of the fabric threads are
removed and the remaining cross threads are shaped and augmented with needle
and thread. Some of the designs do resemble Teneriffe, or Sun Lace, a
bit...when done in a circle .. but the base threads are part of the
I'm glad to have gotten the identification of the laces going...I didn't
have the magnification so could only look at the photo as shown, thus it
looked like crochet. Crochet is the most common thread work done in the
period up to the 1970s in Middle America. Tatting was quite common as
well.
Sallie sent me a larger copy of the pictures. The dining table cloth is Drawn
Work. I'm still sure of this.
The sitting room cloth is probably crochet. It has the look/style of some
